Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expression of the vector and the gene in a cell-free environment is not necessary for cloning a gene. Cloning typically involves the insertion of the gene into a vector, transformation of the vector into bacterial cells, and selection of transformed cells containing the desired gene. Expression of the gene can then be induced in the bacterial cells if desired, but this step is not necessary for cloning the gene itself.
