Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An example of plasmid is
A
sCOS1
B
pYAC
C
pUC18
D
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plasmid cloning vector pUC18 is widely used in E. coli. A plasmid is a circular dsDNA molecule with a circumference of a few hundred or thousand base pairs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vectors pUC18 and pUC19 are small high-copy number plasmids that are widely used for cloning and manipulation of DNA fragments (9).

Detailed explanation-3: -pUC8 is a derivative of plasmid pBR322 and filamentous phage M13. Plasmid pUC8:15 bears a 2.3-kb Vitreoscilla chromosomal fragment (Hind IIIHind III) containing the Vitreoscilla hemoglobin gene (vgb).

Detailed explanation-4: -pUC19 is one of a series of plasmid cloning vectors created by Joachim Messing and co-workers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples are known from plants, fungi, and even animals. Some strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain linear RNA plasmids. Similar RNA plasmids are found in the mitochondria of some varieties of maize plants.
