Question:
Which of the following vectors can accommodate the largest foreign DNA insert?
Which of the following vectors can accommodate the largest foreign DNA insert?
Show Hint
For large genomic studies, YACs are preferred due to their capacity for carrying larger inserts compared to other vectors.
Updated On: Jun 18, 2025
- Plasmid
- Cosmid
- Bacteriophage lambda
- Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
YACs are large DNA vectors capable of accommodating very large DNA fragments, typically over 1000 kb. They are ideal for cloning large genes or genomic fragments.
