Ans. Option (B).

In genetic engineering, a vector molecule can be defined as a molecule of DNA, which is used as a vehicle to artificially transport foreign gene or DNA material into another organism (host) or cell, where it can be copied or/and expressed.

To make a recombinant cell or organism, the target DNA is first isolated and then integrated with the vector molecule. The recombinant DNA (having target DNA) is then inserted to host organism where it makes its copies.

A well known example of vector molecule is plasmid DNA, found in many bacterial and some eukaryotic cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

I think that the Ctenophora are the first to diverge from the origin then Calcerea goes for second divergence and it goes straight in the order as provided by your data.

It also shows the organization of evolutionary pathway from simple (Ctenophorea and Calcerea) to complex like mammals (African Elephant)...

<span>Glucose is the human body's key source of energy as it provides energy to all the cells in our body. Glucose also is critical in the production of proteins, lipid metabolism and is a precursor for vitamin C production.</span><span><span>Glucose is the sole source of fuel to create energy for all brain and red blood cells.</span> The availability of glucose influences many psychological processes. When glucose levels are low, psychological processes requiring mental effort l(self-control, critical thinking and decision-making) become impaired.
