The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the commonly used vectors in human genome sequencing. Vectors are DNA molecules used to deliver genetic material into cells. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - T-DNA (Transferred DNA) - BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) - YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosome) - Expression Vectors - TA Cloning Vectors 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **T-DNA**: This is a type of DNA transferred from a plasmid in certain bacteria, but it is not used for human genome sequencing. - **BAC**: Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes are large plasmids that can carry large DNA fragments (100-300 kb) and are commonly used in genome sequencing. - **YAC**: Yeast Artificial Chromosomes are also used for cloning large DNA fragments (up to 1 Mb) and were initially used in the Human Genome Project. - **Expression Vectors**: These are used to express proteins from genes but are not specifically used for genome sequencing. - **TA Cloning Vectors**: These vectors are used for cloning DNA fragments without restriction enzymes but are not primarily used for genome sequencing. 4. **Selecting the Correct Options**: Based on the analysis, the commonly used vectors for human genome sequencing are: - **BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome)** - **YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosome)** 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is BAC and YAC.
