These
are a). Small’ b). Circular, c). self replicating
and d). can mobilize from one cell to another. |
| l |
Vectors
are derived from the natural plasmids, by making
them a). smaller b). drug resistant c). relaxed
control of replication and d). convenient restriction
sites etc, by genetic manipulation |
