The antibiotic resistance gene can be used as ________ marker for selecting transformants.

The antibiotic resistance gene can be used as ________ marker for selecting transformants. Correct Answer selectable

The antibiotic resistance gene can be used as a selectable marker for selecting transformants. This gene confers the trait for artificial selection and may code for resistance to any antibiotic such as ampicillin, penicillin, kanamycin, tetracycline, etc. The successful transformants will grow on antibiotic-containing media.
