Best answer

Ans: (2) To keep medium bacteria-free

Sol. The correct answer is option (2) because antibiotics are used in RDT to keep medium or culture bacteria-free.

Selectable marker helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. They undergo insertional inactivation upon addition of alien DNA in their ORF.
