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).

You are given two true-breeding groups of rabbits. The first group has floppy ears and white coat color. The second group has st
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Option E, Floppy ears are dominant over straight ears; coat color is determined by incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Let the allele for floppy ears be "F" and the allele for straight ears be "f"

And Let the allele for black coat color be "B" and the color for white coat color be "b"

Now, the cross is carried out between the first group having floppy ears and white coat color (FFbb) and the second group having straight ears and black coat color (ff BB)

The 16 offspring have genotype FfBb

Phenotype of 16 offspring is Floppy ears and grey coat

Ff represents the floppy ear , thus "F" is dominant over "f"

Bb represents the grey color which is a case of incomplete dominance in which none of the real trait i.e black or white is expressed.

Hence, option E is correct
