(a) hybrid intron, exon

(b) hybrid vector, exon

(c) hybrid intron, target DNA sequence

(d) hybrid vector, target DNA sequence

The question was posed to me during an interview.

My question comes from Gene Function and Gene Trapping in chapter Use of Cloned DNA of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) hybrid intron, target DNA sequence

For explanation I would say: Insertion of vector into intron gives rise to hybrid intron. It contains a part coming from intron and a part from the target DNA sequence.
