Which of the following is not a cloning vector?
Options
- AProbe
- BYAC
- CBAC
- DpBR322
Correct answer
A. Probe
Step-by-step solution
A cloning vector is a small piece of DNA that can be stably maintained in an organism, and into which a foreign DNA fragment can be inserted for cloning. Plasmids (like pBR322) is a very common cloning vector. YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosome) and BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) are used as vectors in human genome project. Probe a radiolabelled piece of DNA which is used in autoradiography.
