Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of donor DNA that can be carried on the vector is an important consideration as the vector needs to be able to accommodate the size of the gene(s) being transferred. Other factors such as whether the vector contains RNA or DNA, the type of plasmid, or the origin of the vector (bacterium or virus) may also be important, but the capacity of the vector to carry the donor DNA is the most critical consideration.
