The major advantage of using artificial chromosomes such as YACs and BACs for cloning genes is that

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. plasmids are unable to replicate in cells.
  2. only one copy of a plasmid can be present in any given cell, whereas many copies of a YAC or BAC can coexist in a single cell.
  3. YACs and BACs can carry much larger DNA fragments than ordinary plasmids can.
  4. YACs and BACs can be used to express proteins encoded by inserted genes, but plasmids cannot.

Calculate the number of times the DNA of a modern E. coli cell has been copied accurately since its earliest bacterial precursor cell arose about 3.5 billion years ago. Assume for simplicity that over this time period, E. coli has undergone, on average, one cell division every 12 hours (this is an overestimate for modern bacteria, but probably an underestimate for ancient bacteria).
