Answer:

plasmid

Explanation:

Plasmids are small circular double or singe stranded DNA molecules that are distinct from the main chromosomal DNA. They are used in genetic engineering as vectors for replication of foreign DNA or proteins using bacteria as a host organism. The DNA strand is integrated into the plasmid DNA to form a recombinant plasmid that is then transformed into the host.

Plasmids are ideal vectors because of the following characteristics:

  • High copy number per cell
  • Multiple cloning sites
  • Have an origin of replication
  • Have antibiotic resistance gene

There are also diffrent types of plasmids:

  • Degradative
  • Virulence
  • Resistance
  • Fertility
  • Col plasmid

Scientists like to use fluorescent proteins for various types of recombinant DNA procedures. You have a very small amount of the
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.Amplify the gene using PCR. Insert the gene into a plasmid vector. Transform the vector into the bacteria.

Explanation:

If I have a very small amount of gene for a fluorescent protein than the first step is to amplify the gene so that appropriate protein can be produced. PCR is the instrument that is used to amplify the protein.

So after amplification of the gene, the plasmid vector will be used in which the gene will be inserted because the plasmid vector is used to insert this gene in host cells where protein will be expressed.

The final step will be to transform bacteria with recombinant plasmid so that plasmid can make its copy and express a fluorescent protein in bulk.
