Haha I don't know what I think lol I don't know this stuff .

abhisar · Answer

The vector serves as the carrier for the transfer or insertion of gene(s). Vectors are among the essential tools for gene cloning and are most useful if they also encode some kind of marker gene encoding a bio-indicator molecule that can be measured in a bioassay to ensure their insertion, and expression, in the host organism.
