Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A library is a collection of cloned pieces of DNA that are stored in host cells. Yeast cells are commonly used as hosts for DNA libraries because they are easy to manipulate and can stably maintain large pieces of DNA. PCR, Southern blot, clone, and vector are all molecular biology techniques or terms that are related to cloning or analyzing DNA, but they do not refer specifically to the storage of DNA in yeast cells.
