Zoology - Biotechnology - Principles and Processes Question with Solution | TestHub
The vector requires a ______, which helps in identifying selectively permitting the growth of transformants.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Vectors in biotechnology process is a carrier for the genetic material to transfer to the desired organism's genome. Vectors are also used for making copies or clones. Vector should have the following features to facilitate cloning and transfer process.
Origin of replication to enable replication of the vector and vector supporting higher copy number is preferred. Vector having a selectable marker is preferred as it will help in identifying the transformant from non-transformants. Vector with few or single restriction enzyme sites preferred to avoid fragmentation of the DNA sequence and reduce complication of the biotechnological process.
