Question
Biology Question on the molecular basis of inheritance
Nucleus of a donor embryonal cell/somatic cell is transferred to an enucleated egg cell. Then after the formation of the organism, what shell is true
Organism will have extranuclear genes of the donor cell
Organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell
Organism will have extra nuclear genes of both donor and recipient cell
Organism will have nuclear genes of recipient cell
Organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell
Solution
The correct option is (B) : Organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell
The recipient cell has already been enucleated, therefore that is a given. It denotes the removal of its genetic material or nucleus. As a result, the organism that arises from it will possess the nuclear genes of the donor embryonal/somatic cell. As a result, the organism will have additional recipient cell nuclear genes. Therefore, "Organism will have extra nuclear genes of recipient cell" is the right response.
