  1. They are large and complex
  2. They replicate independently of chromosomal DNA
  3. They are difficult to manipulate
  4. They do not carry antibiotic resistance genes

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main advantage of using plasmids as vectors in cloning?
  • Step 1: Understand what a plasmid is. A plasmid is a small, circular piece of DNA found in bacteria.
  • Step 2: Learn that plasmids can replicate on their own, separate from the main DNA in a cell.
  • Step 3: Know that cloning involves making many copies of a specific piece of DNA.
  • Step 4: Realize that because plasmids can replicate independently, they can easily carry and multiply the DNA you want to clone.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this ability to replicate independently is the main advantage of using plasmids as vectors in cloning.
