Assertion Vector is very useful in recombinant DNA technology.
Reason Vector is a tool that carries a foreign DNA molecule to the living cell.

Options

A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion
B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion
C. Assertion is true, but the Reason is false
D. Assertion is false, but the Reason is true

Answer

a

Explanation

A vector is defined as the DNA molecule capable of self-replication and used as the carrier of DNA segment to be cloned. In practice, it is required for transferring and cloning the gene in a suitable host or bacterium.
The gene is inserted in the vector forming recombinant DNA or recombinant vector. The recombinant vector is also called the hybrid vector or chimeric vector. The vectors can be cloning vectors or expression vectors.
