Solution
The correct option is A Germ cell
Transgenic organisms
Transgenic organisms are those that have one or more foreign genes from another species introduced into them by artificial means for the expression of desired traits.
Method to develop transgenic creatures
Transgenic plants are developed by introducing the desired foreign gene, either in a fertilised egg or in the pronuclei of the germ cell by microinjection.
This ensures that foreign genes are introduced in all cells of the transgenic organism because all other cells such as vegetative cells, and somatic cells arise from fertilised egg/ zygote.
Final answer
c. Germ cell
