An ideal cloning vector should have
( A) Low molecular weight
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
An ideal cloning vector should have features that allow easy replication and selection in a host cell.
• Low molecular weight → helps easy entry and handling
• Origin of replication (ori) → allows independent replication in host
• Antibiotic resistance gene → acts as a selectable marker
But desired genes are not part of the vector—they are the DNA to be inserted.
