Most eukaryotic genes are cloned directly into the vector for expression in prokaryotes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it is possible to clone eukaryotic genes into prokaryotic vectors, many eukaryotic genes require post-transcriptional modifications and regulatory elements that are not found in prokaryotes, making it difficult to achieve proper expression. Therefore, most eukaryotic genes are cloned into vectors designed for expression in eukaryotic cells.
