Why is it important to include a selective marker gene on a plasmid? a) So that you can select cells containing the plasmid after transformation. b) So that you can select where the plasmid inserts into the genome. c) So that you can select the recombinant gene you want to add to the plasmid. d) So that you can select when the recombinant gene on your plasmid is expressed.
