Question

Which is used as a cloning vector into plants?

Answer 1

Cloning:

Cloning is the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Cloning happens all the time in nature—for example when a cell replicates itself asexually without any genetic alteration or recombination.

Vectors:

1. The DNA molecules that carry a foreign DNA segment and replicate inside the host cell are called vectors.
2. They are also known as vehicle DNA.

Ti Plasmid:

1. Ti Plasmid is applied as a cloning vector in plants.
2. A segment of its DNA is called T-DNA.
3. Ti-plasmid is cloned so that it is no longer pathogenic to plants.
