    The statement is false

    Explanation:

    A vector is a DNA molecule that is obtained from bacteria, yeast which acts as a vehicle to transfer the foreign DNA into the host cell. The vector which carries foreign DNA is called recombinant DNA.

    A good vector should have the ability to replicate on its own so they must have their origin of replication. A good vector should have a unique restriction site and at least one selectable marker.

    So vector is not the part of chromosome rather it is extra-chromosomal DNA or plasmid which is used to transfer the foreign DNA of one organism into another organism.
