Question:

(a) Draw a schematic diagram of the cloning vector pBR322 and label (1) Bam HI site (2) gene for ampicillin resistance (3) ‘ori’ (4) ‘rop’ gene.

Show Hint

The pBR322 vector is one of the most widely used plasmids in genetic engineering due to its multiple cloning sites and selectable markers.
