Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Transformed cells
Selectable markers help in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. Normally, the genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline or kanamycin, etc. are considered useful selectable markers. So, an antibiotic resistance gene in a vector usually helps in the selection of transformed cells.
