Question 3 • Biology_A_IC

Which is a mechanical vector that injects recombinant DNA directly into the nucleus of a host cell?

Answer
A
restriction enzymes
B
micropipette
C
bacterial plasmid
D
viral phage

Explanation

A micropipette can be used to inject recombinant DNA directly into a host cell’s nucleus, a technique called microinjection. Restriction enzymes cut DNA, while plasmids and viral phages act as biological vectors that carry DNA into cells. Therefore, the mechanical vector is the micropipette.
