Q. In cloning plasmid pBR322 p stands for …A… B stands for …B… R stands for …C… Choose the correct option
A) A-plasmid, B-Boliver, C-Rodriquez
B) A-plasmid, B-bacteria, C-Rodriquez
C) A-prophage, B-bacteriophage, C-Rodriquez
D) A-prophage, B-Boliver, C-Rodriquez
Explanation
A-plasmid, B-Boliver, C-Rodriquez. pBR322 vector was the first artificial cloning vector constructed in 1977 by Boliver and Rodriquez. It is widely used in gene cloning experiments in pBR322 p – Denotes that it is plasmid BR – stands for Boliver and Rodriquez who constructed this plasmid 322 is a number given to distinguish this plasmid from others developed in the same laboratory
