In genetic engineering, a DNA segment (gene) of interest is transferred to the host cell through a vector. Consider the following four agents (A-D) in this regard and select the correct option about which one or more of these can be used as a vector/vectors:
A. | a bacterium | B. | plasmid |
C. | plasmodium | D. | bacteriophage |
Options:
1. | (A) only | 2. | (A) and (C) only |
3. | (B) and (D) only | 4. | (A), (B) and (D) only |
A and B in pBR322, shown in the diagram given below, respectively represent recognition sequences of:

3. | Its Ti plasmid is now modified into an expression vector |
4. | Its Ti plasmid is modified into a cloning vector which is no more pathogenic |
