Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A DNA library is a collection of DNA fragments that have been inserted into cloning vectors, such as plasmids, bacteriophages, or artificial chromosomes. This allows for the preservation and study of large amounts of genetic information. cDNA (A) is complementary DNA synthesized from a RNA template by the enzyme reverse transcriptase (C). A restriction enzyme (B) is used to cut DNA at specific recognition sites.
