Select the restriction endonuclease enzymes whose restriction sites are present for the tetracycline resistance (tet ^R ) gene in the pBR322 cloning vector.
Options
- ABam HI and Sal I
- BSal I and Pst I
- CPst I and PvuI
- DPvu I and Bam HI
Correct answer
A. Bam HI and Sal I
Step-by-step solution
The correct answer is option (1), because the restriction sites for restriction endonucleases Bam HI and Sal I are present within the tet ^R gene in the pBR322 cloning vector. Options (2), (3) and (4) are incorrect because the restriction sites of P st I and P v u I are present within the a m p^R gene in the pBR322 cloning vector.
