The right answer is protolith.


The protolith is an original rock of a metamorphic rock.

Metamorphism is the set of processes that induce mineralogical and textural modifications of a rock, in the solid state and under the effect of temperature, pressure and fluids.


When there is no longer any indication of the nature of the original rock, it is sometimes possible to identify it from the overall chemical composition of the rock (provided that the chemical changes are not too large).

PIT_PIT [208]

The answer is C.

Transgenic means that one or more DNA sequences from another species has been introduced by artificial means. For example, animals usually are made transgenic by having a small sequence of DNA injected into a fertilized egg or developing  embryo. Transgenic plants can be made by introducing foreign DNA into a variety of different tissues.

Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. Others have been developed for commercial purposes  such as golden rice that has been modified to produce beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A.
