Step-by-step solution
The pBR322 vector contains two antibiotic resistance genes: ampicillin resistance and tetracycline resistance. Insertion of foreign DNA at the BamHI site inactivates the tetracycline resistance gene, resulting in a plasmid that is ampicillin resistant but tetracycline sensitive ((A)-(III)). Insertion at the PvuI site inactivates the ampicillin resistance gene, making the plasmid ampicillin sensitive but tetracycline resistant ((B)-(I)). The EcoRI site is located outside both antibiotic resistance genes, so insertio
