Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BACs are constructed using plasmids, specifically large plasmids that can accommodate large amounts of foreign DNA. R plasmids and M plasmids are both small plasmids that are not suitable for constructing BACs. M13 phage is a virus used for sequencing and creating single-stranded DNA, but not for constructing BACs.
