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).

If you wanted water to flow out of a tubing piece filled with a 50% solution, what would the minimum concentration of the beaker
Deffense [45]
If you want water to flow out of the tubing piece filled with a 50% solution, the minimum concentration of the solution in the beaker must be more than 50%. This is because, water can only flow out of the tubing piece if the concentration of the water inside the beaker is greater than that of the tubing piece; the water will move from the region of low concentration to the region of high concentration.
