NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 136
Which of the following is not a cloning vector?
- Option A:
YAC
- Option B:
pBR322
- Option C:Correct
probe
- Option D:
BAC
Answer: C
Step-by-step solution
A cloning vector is a DNA molecule used to carry a foreign gene into a host cell. YAC, BAC, and pBR322 are all cloning vectors. A probe is a single-stranded DNA or RNA fragment labelled with a radioactive or fluorescent molecule, used to detect a specific DNA sequence, not a cloning vector. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
