Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a genomic library, the frog DNA is fragmented into random pieces and then inserted into E. coli cells using a vector. Each bacterial cell gets a different fragment of the frog DNA, making choice C the correct answer. The bacterial cells do not have the exact same sequences of frog DNA (choice A) or completely different sequences (choice B). Additionally, while each cell may have multiple copies of the fragment, they are not considered "many fragments" (choice D). The frog DNA does not necessarily need to be transcribed into mRNA in the bacterial cells (choice E).
