Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C Clones
Cell clones can form by cell division from a single transformed cell and be propagated to produce a large number of cells with an identical foreign DNA molecules that we wish to clone into the cells, a process known as transformation. Amplification process produces a huge number of identical bacterial cell clones, each with the same foreign DNA sequence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
