Practice question
Question
Arrange the following vectors in the increasing order of their insert range : (A) Phage λ (B) YAC (C) M13 (D) Plasmid (E) Cosmid Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Explanation
Insert capacity increases progressively: M13 phage accommodates few kilobases, plasmids around 10 kb, lambda phage 15-25 kb, cosmids 35-45 kb via cos sites, and yeast artificial chromosomes hundreds kilobases to megabases, making this increasing order biologically accurate.
