Answer 2

The vector used to transmit a gene segment is a Virus (Option - B)

• A Virus does not have protein machinery of its own, therefore, it integrates its genes into the host genome and uses the host machinery for the expression of its genes.
• Many attenuated viruses are used to transfer the gene of interest into the host organism.
• Hence, the virus acts as a vector to transmit a gene segment.
• For example, with the help of restriction and ligase enzymes, harmful genes of the viruses can be removed and gene of interest can be ligated into the virus which can further be allowed to infect the host organism.
• Such as the adenoviruses used for the production of adenoviral-based vaccines.
