Step-by-step solution
In the cloning vector pBR322: - The restriction site for Pvu I is located within the ampicillin resistance ( amp^R ) gene. Insertion of foreign DNA here inactivates the amp^R gene. - The restriction site for BamH I is located within the tetracycline resistance ( tet^R ) gene. Insertion here inactivates the tet^R gene. - The restriction site for Pvu II is located in the rop gene, which codes for the proteins involved in the replication of the plasmid. - The restriction site for Hind III is located outside both the a
