To make a recombinant DNA, one often begins by selecting a _, the means by which recombinant DNA is introduced into a host cell.
Correct answer: C. Vector
- A. Restriction endonuclease
- B. DNA ligase
- C. Vector
- D. Primase
Explanation
To make recombinant DNA, one often begins by selecting a vector, the means by which recombinant DNA is introduced into a host cell. One common type of vector is a plasmid.Plasmids were discovered by investigators studying the sex life of the intestinal bacterium Escherichia coll.
