If one wants to recover many copies of the target DNA, it should be cloned in a vector:
1. that is a single-stranded DNA molecule
2. whose origin [ori] supports a high copy number
3. that carries two selectable markers
4. whose cloning sites are all clustered at one place

If a plasmid is to be used as a cloning vector, the most important feature which must be present in it is:
1. Origin of replication (Ori)
2. Presence of a selectable marker
3. Presence of sites for restriction endonuclease

Restriction enzymes produced by some bacteria:

1. cleave phosphodiester bond in the main chromosomal DNA of the bacterium.
2. cut single stranded DNA at random positions.
3. prevent the multiplication of bacteriophage in bacteria.
