Question

write the increasing order of insert size
YAC , COSMID , PLASMID, BAC
ALSO EXPLAIN EACH

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plasmid - generally up to 15 Kb long DNA fragments

Phage - up to 23 Kb long DNA fragments

Cosmid - up to 45 Kb long DNA fragments

BAC - up to 300-350 Kb long DNA fragments

YAC - up to 1 Mb long DNA fragments

Answer 2

insert size means the maximum length of DNA fragment that can be inserted in to a vector

plasmid<cosmid<BAC<YAC

plasmid is the extra chromosomal DNA present in bacteria which is used in recombinant DNA technology  to get desirable product

cosmid is the combination of cos site of lambda phage and plasmid DNA

YAC is yeast artificial  chromosome

BAC is bacterial artificial chromosome
