  2. Modified viruses
  3. Xenotransplantation
  4. Modified microarrays

B
Xenotransplantation
C
Modified viruses
D
Modified microarrays

Solution
Verified by Toppr

C. Modified viruses
Solution : Modified viruses and their cos sites play a great role as vectors for inserting genes into cells. PCR is used for amplifying a small DNA fragment and microarrays are used for gene expression studies and xenotransplantation is grafting of new tissues into animals.
So the correct answer is " Modified viruses"
