The DNA can be increased in size by only about 5%, representing the addition of only 3 kb of new DNA. You are developing a cloning vector based on i bacteriophage (Figure 1). Which segment of the genes can be removed from the DNA to increase the ability to carry a larger DNA fragment? Explain your reason. (ii) How lambda DNA exists as a double stranded linear molecule during the infection cycle?
