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.
