1.	Selectable markers are the genes which code for resistance to _______(a) disease(b) phages(c) antibiotics(d) foreign entityThe question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My question comes from Tools of Recombinant DNA Technology: Cloning Vectors in division Biotechnology Principles and Processes of Biology – Class 12
Answer» The correct choice is (c) antibiotics To explain: Genes coding for RESISTANCE to antibiotics are usually used as SELECTABLE markers. They are introduced in an ORGANISM especially bacteria ALONG with plasmid. They help in the identification of transformants.
