Which is NOT a characteristic of a plasmid used for production of DNA vaccines in fish?

In molecular biology, nucleic acid structure and recombination dictates that hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Therefore Poly-T- tai is correct as it matches molecular mechanisms, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.

Ref: Lodish et al., Molecular Cell Biology, 8th Edition, Chapter 8, RNA Processing and Translation, covers mRNA hairpins, puromycin mechanism and aminoacyl-tRNA function governing protein synthesis.
