What would be the consequence of treating a cloning vector, before ligation, with calf intestinal phosphatase? What would be the consequence of treating a cloning vector, before ligation, with calf intestinal phosphatase? It would ligate the ends of the plasmids. It would prevent the plasmid's DNA from reversing polarity during ligation. It would prevent the ends of the plasmids from being ligated. It would reverse the polarity of plasmids' DNA
