• A. PAC (Protozoal Artificial Chromosomes)
• B. FAC (Fungal Artificial Chromosomes)
• C. VAC (Viral Artificial Chromosomes)
• D. YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosomes)

Answer 1

Answer:

D. YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosomes)

Both BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes) and YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosomes) act as a suitable vector for the process of cloning in HGP whereas bacteria and yeast act as the host for cloning in HGP.
