Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Transformed cells
A. Competent cells are the bacterial cells that are ready to take up the DNA.B. Transformed cells are the cells that have taken up the vector.C. Recombinant cells are the cells whose DNA has been manipulated.Antibiotic resistance gene is a selectable marker gene which helps in the selection of transformed cells. With the help of marker, the cells carrying the vector (transformants) are easily distinguished from non transformants by selectively permitting the growth of transformants.So, the correct answer is 'Transformed cells'.
