If a recombinant DNA bearing gene for resistance to antibiotic ampicillin is transferred to E.coli cells, the host cells become transformed into ampicillin resistant cells. If such bacteria are transferred on agar plates containing ampicillin, only transformants will grown and the untransformed recipient cells will die. The ampicillin resistant gene in this case is called as
