Question
Organelle / organoid involved in genetic enegineering is
Options
A.plasmid
B.mitochondrion
C.Golgi apparatus
D.lomasome
Solution
plasmids are small, self replicating extra chromosomal, non-essential genetic / DNA elements. plasmid consis of a ring of circular, supercoiled double stranded naked DNA carrying genes for replication and for one or more cellular non-esential functions. They are ideal vectors for genetic engineering , gene cloning since they are self replicating ,carry non-essential genes and has a restriction site for one or more restriction endonucleases.
