Final answer:

Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) are transformed as a circular chromosome and contain par genes and an origin of replication. Yeast Artificial Chromosomes (YACs) are transformed as a linear chromosome and contain a centromere sequence and a telomere sequence. Both are used for cloning long DNA fragments and contain an origin of replication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorting the phrases based on whether they describe Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) , Yeast Artificial Chromosomes (YACs) , or both, we will distribute the characteristics as follows:

  • Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) :
  • Yeast Artificial Chromosomes (YACs) :
  • Both:
