| 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 |
| 4. | Being linear rather than circular |
