Problem 72Multiple Choice

A researcher wants to express a human insulin gene in bacteria using a plasmid vector with a multiple cloning site (MCS). The MCS contains several unique restriction enzyme recognition sites. The researcher plans to insert the insulin cDNA into the MCS at the desired location. What is the purpose of using the MCS in this context?

To ensure that the bacteria can take up the plasmid vector

To provide a location for the bacterial promoter to initiate transcription

To allow for easy insertion of the insulin cDNA into the plasmid vector

To prevent the expression of other genes in the plasmid vector
