Vectors Can Transfer ____

Question

Vectors can transfer ____.
A) DNA sequences into bacterial host cells for cloning
B) DNA sequences into viral host cells for cloning
C) cloned viral cells into a bacterial host for cloning
D) cloned mitochondria from donor cell to host cell
E) cloned chromosomes from the nucleus of a cell into its cytoplasm

Accepted Answer

Vectors are DNA molecules that can carry foreign DNA sequences and transfer them into host cells for cloning or other purposes. Bacterial host cells are often used for cloning, and vectors can transfer DNA sequences into these cells. Viral host cells can also be used for cloning with vectors, but A is a more specific and accurate answer. Choices C, D, and E are not correct because they describe scenarios that are not commonly accomplished with vectors.
