NEET Biology question
If recombinant DNA carrying antibiotic resistance (e.g., ampicillin) is transferred into E. coli cells, the host cell is transformed into ampicillin-resistant cells. If such bacteria are transferred onto agar plates containing ampicillin, only transformants will grow and the untransformed recipient cells will die. The ampicillin resistant gene in this case is called a:

Solution
The vector and plasmid are the overall carrier molecules and cloning sites are locations for inserting DNA, none of which describes the function of distinguishing
