What does “Cloning vector” actually mean in Biotechnology - Principles and Processes, and why does it matter for NEET?
a carrier, usually a bacterial plasmid, that ferries recombinant DNA into a host cell.
In simple words: a carrier, usually a bacterial plasmid, that ferries recombinant DNA into a host cell. Getting Cloning vector clear matters because NEET questions on Biotechnology - Principles and Processes usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Cloning vector
Common mistake
confusing the vector with the host cell.
Memory tip
the vector is the vehicle (plasmid); the host is the cell it enters (E. coli).
