I got this question during an internship interview.

I want to ask this question from Transformation and Hosts topic in section Simple Cloning of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) host

For explanation I would say: Hosts are the cells which are used for propagation of recombinant molecules. The choice of a correct host is very important.
