Solution
The correct option is D None of the above pBR322 carries two sets of antibiotic resistance genes. pBR327 plasmid is a higher copy number plasmid and was constructed by removing a 1089 bp segment from pBR322. pUC8 plasmid is derived from pBR322, remaining only the replication origin and the ampR gene. Either ampicillin or tetracycline resistance can be used as a selectable marker for cells containing all the three plasmids, and each marker gene includes unique restriction sites that can be used in cloning experiments.
