#Applied Microbiology

Given below are two statements:

    Statement I: A shuttle vector is designed to allow the cloning of a gene in E. coli and its subsequent expression in a eukaryotic cell.

      Statement II: pBR322 is a classic example of a shuttle vector because it can replicate in both animals and bacteria.

      In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
