Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Plasmids’
Detailed explanation-2: -Final Answer: Retrovirus is used as a vector for cloning genes into higher organisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -A plasmid is a small circular double stranded molecule DNA present in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell. It can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. Due to this characteristic of the plasmid, it is used as a vector in gene cloning to deliver a piece of DNA into a host cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plasmids can be used as cloning vectors, allowing the insertion of exogenous DNA into a bacterial target.
