Question

In some cases, recombinant DNA must be cloned before it can be inserted into a host. Which vectors can be used to clone recombinant DNA?
a. phages and plasmids
b. gene guns and micropipettes
c. restriction enzymes
d. transgenic bacteria

Answer 1

Phages and plasmids can be used to clone recombinant DNA.

 

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium. The term is derived from "bacteria" and the Greek: φαγεῖν, "to devour"

 

A plasmid is a small DNA molecule within a cell that is physically separated from a chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently. They are most commonly found in bacteria as small circular, double-stranded DNA molecules; however, plasmids are sometimes present in archaea and eukaryotic organisms.
