Besides plasmids, the other molecular carrier or vector is:
Correct answer: C. DNA of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages)
- A. DNA of bacteria
- B. DNA of plant viruses
- C. DNA of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages)
- D. DNA of animal viruses
Explanation
Bacteriophages, or bacterial viruses, are efficient vectors for introducing genetic material into bacteria due to their natural ability to infect and insert DNA into bacterial calls
