D

pBR322

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The name `pSC101` refers to the fact that it was the one hundred-and -first plasmid isolated by Stanley Cohen. This plasmid was used to insert a gene of the african clawed toad, Xenopus laevis encoding r-RNA by Cohen and Boyer.
