Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of a cloning vector?
  • Step 1: Understand what a cloning vector is. A cloning vector is a small piece of DNA that can carry foreign DNA into a host cell.
  • Step 2: Know the purpose of using a cloning vector. The main purpose is to make many copies of a specific DNA sequence.
  • Step 3: Realize that when the cloning vector is introduced into a host cell, it replicates along with the host's DNA.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the primary function of a cloning vector is to amplify or increase the amount of a specific DNA sequence.
