Summary Introduction

To determine: The purpose of the lacZ gene in the vector in the cloning experiment.

Introduction: Genomics contains an important technique by which multiple and exact copies of a gene can be produced. This technique is known as gene cloning. This method requires certain agents such as plasmids and viruses for the successful production of multiple genes from a specific gene. These are known as vectors. Vectors carry the gene of interest in the host cell and thus, help in gene cloning.
