The sequence that controls the copy number of the linked DNA in the vector is termed as:
(A) Palindromic sequence
(B) Ori site
(C) Selectable marker
(D) Recognition site
Answer (2)
The sequence that controls the copy number of linked DNA in a vector is known as the Ori site (origin of replication). This sequence is crucial for the replication of the vector within host cells. Thus, the correct choice for the question is (B) Ori site.

In the context of genetic engineering and molecular biology, vectors are tools commonly used to introduce foreign DNA into host cells. Each vector has several crucial features that facilitate the cloning process, one of which is the control of the DNA replication within the host cell.
The sequence that controls the copy number of the linked DNA in the vector is termed as the Ori site (Origin of replication). ;
