The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the native plasmid used in the construction of the first recombinant DNA. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - E. coli - Salmonella typhimurium - Bacillus thuringiensis - Yeast 3. **Background Knowledge**: The first recombinant DNA was constructed using a plasmid that had the ability to confer antibiotic resistance. This was a crucial aspect of the experiment. 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **E. coli**: While E. coli is widely used in recombinant DNA technology, it was not the source of the plasmid for the first recombinant DNA. - **Salmonella typhimurium**: This organism has a plasmid that contains genes for antibiotic resistance, making it a strong candidate for the construction of the first recombinant DNA. - **Bacillus thuringiensis**: This bacterium is known for its insecticidal properties but is not associated with the first recombinant DNA. - **Yeast**: While yeast can be used in genetic engineering, it was not the source of the first recombinant DNA. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Salmonella typhimurium**. This organism's plasmid was used to create the first recombinant DNA, which included a gene for antibiotic resistance. **Final Answer**: Salmonella typhimurium ---
