I keep getting “Recombinant DNA technology” questions wrong in Biotechnology & its Applications. What's the trap?
thinking any gene can be expressed without a proper vector and host.
The usual trap: thinking any gene can be expressed without a proper vector and host. How to avoid it: gene + vector (plasmid) + host cell = the recombinant DNA workflow. Go back to the definition — inserting a desired gene into a vector and then a host cell to mass-produce a useful product.

Memory tip
gene + vector (plasmid) + host cell = the recombinant DNA workflow.
