Q
Q: What is the main advantage of using plasmids as vectors in cloning?
Solution:
Plasmids can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA, making them ideal vectors for cloning.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
