Vectors Capable of Entering Two or More Different Host Organisms

Question

Vectors capable of entering two or more different host organisms are known as
A)dual vectors.
B)omnivectors.
C)shuttle vectors.
D)parity vectors.
E)universal vectors.

Accepted Answer

Shuttle vectors are capable of entering and replicating in more than one type of host organism. They are useful in genetic engineering and biotechnology research, as they can be used to transfer genetic material between different organisms, such as bacteria and higher eukaryotes. Dual vectors, omnivectors, parity vectors, and universal vectors are not commonly used or recognized terms in the field of vector biology.
