Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A genomic library contains cloned fragments of all the DNA in a haploid number of chromosomes characteristic of a particular species. The other choices are incorrect: cDNA library only contains complementary DNA copies of mRNA, transcribed DNA library is not a commonly used term, a gene library contains cloned fragments of a specific gene or group of genes, and a plasmid library contains cloned fragments inserted into plasmids.
