Solution

The correct option is C Endogenote
During horizontal gene transfer, a piece of endogenous genetic material is called as endogenote. It is a part of bacterial chromosome that is homologous to a genome fragment transferred from the donor to the recipient cell in the formation of a merozygote. It is the native bacterial genome that do not contain any donor genome. The part of donor DNA that is involved in the mating of bacterial genome is called as exogenote.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Endogenote.'
