Solution
The correct option is C Gene library
A genomic library is a collection of the total genomic DNA from a single organism. The DNA is stored in a population of identical vectors, each containing a different insert of DNA. In order to construct a genomic library, the organism's DNA is extracted from cells and then digested with a restriction enzyme to cut the DNA into fragments of a specific size. The fragments are then inserted into the vector using DNA ligase. Next, the vector DNA can be taken up by a host organism - commonly Escherichia coli or yeast - with each cell containing only one vector molecule. Using a host cell to carry the vector, allows for easy amplification and retrieval of specific clones from the library for analysis.
