What will be the effect if pBR322, a cloning vector does not carry 'ori' site ?

A

1) Sticky ends will not produce

B

2)Transformation will not take place

C

3) The cell will transform into a tumour cell

D

4) Replication will not take place

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For the multiplication of any alien piece of `DN` in an organism, it needs to be a part of a chromosome which has a specific sequence known as 'origin of replication' (ori). If ori is not present in a cloning vectorm replication will not be initiated.

Assertion : All expression vectors are cloning vectors and vise versa. Reason : Expression vectors have at least the regulatory sequences i.e., promotes, operators, ribosomal binding sites, etc having optimum function in the chosen control but not origin of replication.
