The major advantage of using artificial chromosomes such as YACs and BACs for cloning genes is that

C) YACs and BACs can carry much larger DNA fragments than ordinary plasmids can.
D) YACs and BACs can be used to express proteins encoded by inserted genes, but plasmids cannot.
E) All of these are correct.
