You are engineering a new vector that contains a screenable marker that can be used for blue/white screening of successful clones. For each site (1, 2, and 3) on the cloning vector below, describe why it would or would not be a good place for you to put the polylinker to facilitate blue/white screening. You can assume that the polylinker itself will not interfere with coding sequence in that region. In other words, the polylinker length will be a multiple of 3 nucleotides, will not contain a stop codon, and any amino acids translated will not affect the activity of the protein in that region. The arrows indicate the direction of transcription for the gene
