Correct Answer is (C)

Explanation:

(C) Use of reporter genes

Reporter gene A quality that is utilized to 'tag' another quality or DNA succession of interest, for example, an promoter Expression of the correspondent is handily observed, and allows the function or whereabouts of the 'target' sequence to be tracked. It have a two type of reporter gene such as scorable reporter gene and selector gene Scorable reporter gene - The gene have expression of this result in quantifiable phenotype and easily detected through highly sensitive enzymes assays Selector gene - The gene expression resistance to a toxin and selection of tranformants from non tranformants in growth media containing selective agents
