Shown below is a diagram for a plasmid vector you want to use to clone a gene. The diagram shows the location of the recognition sites for four restrictions enzymes, BamHI (B), EcoRI (E), HindIII (H), and XhoI (X). The genes encoding beta-lactamase (AmpR) and beta-galactosidase (lacZ) are indicated. If you were to use this vector, which enzyme should be used to linearize the plasmid in preparation for cloning?
