Answer:
Seminal vesicle
Explanation:
Seminal vesicle secretes an alkaline and viscous fluid that constitutes about 60% of the volume of semen. The fluid secreted by seminal vesicle contains fructose which is a monosaccharide sugar, prostaglandins, and clotting proteins. The alkaline nature of the seminal fluid neutralizes the acidic environment of the male urethra and the female reproductive tract. This is required as the acidic conditions inactivate and kill sperm.
The fructose sugar serves a fuel for ATP production by sperm. Prostaglandins are responsible for sperm motility and viability as they stimulate smooth muscle contractions within the female reproductive tract. Therefore, a malfunctioning seminal vesicle would result in low semen volume and reduced motility due to the scarcity of energy.

Answer:
The correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.
Explanation:
A cloning vector is a small segment of DNA that can be established stably in an individual organism and able to internalize a foreign DNA for cloning purposes. The cloning vector could be taken from different organisms such as plasmid of a bacterium, or DNA from a virus. A cloning vector must possess some characteristics -
The cloning vector must be self-replicating ability in the host cells, it should be small in size with restriction site for the restriction endonuclease enzymes in it. The replication character of the vector should not interfere with the internalized DNA fragment. The presence of marker genes in the vector is also a property that is helpful in identifying of recombinant cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.
The cell is most likely prokaryotic because:
Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus due to which the DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. So for eukaryotes, the DNA will be present packed inside the nucleus instead of being dispersed in the cytoplasm.
Prokaryotes can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on their mode of nutrition. Autotrophic prokaryotes can make organic molecules for a carbon dioxide source. On the other hand, heterotrophic prokaryotes can take carbon from organic compounds. Hence, the organism can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.
