• B) The phage library has fewer clones than the plasmid library because each phage clone contains more DNA.
• C) The phage library has fewer clones than the plasmid library because phage libraries do not include nontranscribed DNA.
• D) The plasmid library has fewer clones than the phage library because plasmid libraries do not include nontranscribed DNA.
• E) The phage library has fewer clones than the plasmid library because phage libraries do not include nontranslated DNA.
