Solution

The correct option is B Organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell
It is given that the recipient cell has been enucleated. It means its nucleus or genetic material has been removed. Hence, the organism that will develop from it would have the nuclear genes of donor embryonal/ somatic cell. Hence, the organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell.'
