Solution:

pUC is a group of plasmid cloning vectors utilized profusely in the recombinant DNA technology. It is also used as a model plasmid for research studies. The name 'pUC' is derived from the 'p' as the general prefix for plasmid and 'UC' represents the University of California, where the plasmid was discovered and work was done on it.
