The given flow chart depicts the steps to transfer a desirable gene of interest into a plant. Identify the missing steps (A,B and C) with regard ot following statements and select the correct option. (i) Joining of desirable gene to a suitable cloning vector using ligases to create a recombinant DNA molecule. (ii) Selection of transformed cells. (iii) Transferring the recombinant DNA molecules to teh target cells.

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 1) selectable marker 2) recombinant protein 3) cloning site 4) chemical scalpels
