The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Which one is used as a vector for gene transfer cloning gene?", we need to analyze the options provided and identify the correct vector used in genetic engineering. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Vectors**: - Vectors are DNA molecules used to deliver genetic material into cells. They are essential tools in genetic engineering for cloning genes. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - The options given are: - Salmonella Typhi - Morium - DNA - Ti-plasmid 3. **Analyzing Salmonella Typhi**: - Salmonella Typhi is a pathogenic bacterium that causes typhoid fever. It is not used as a vector for gene cloning due to its pathogenic nature. 4. **Analyzing Morium**: - There is no well-known vector or organism called "Morium" in the context of gene cloning. This option is likely incorrect. 5. **Analyzing DNA**: - While DNA is the genetic material, it is not a vector by itself. Vectors are specific types of DNA molecules that can replicate independently within a host. 6. **Analyzing Ti-plasmid**: - Ti-plasmid (Tumor-inducing plasmid) is derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. It is widely used as a vector in plant genetic engineering because it can transfer genes into plant cells effectively. 7. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Ti-plasmid** as it is specifically designed for gene transfer and cloning in plant cells. ### Final Answer: The vector used for gene transfer and cloning is **Ti-plasmid**. ---
