C) a restriction enzyme site
D) a selectable marker

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A multiple cloning site (MCS), also known as a polylinker, is a short segment of DNA which contains many (up to 20 or more) restriction enzyme sites - a sequence of DNA where a restriction enzyme can cut. This allows scientists to easily insert genes into the MCS by cutting the vector and the gene with the same restriction enzyme(s) and then ligating the gene into the vector at the MCS.
