    A)  enhancer         

    B)  transgene

    D)  reporter

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Reporter genes are used to determine whether a particular DNA construct has been successfully introduced into a cell, organ or tissue. Enhances is a DNA sequence present within the control regions of many eukaryotic genes that can enhance transcription. A transgenic organism contains in its genome a gene or genes introduced by one or the other technique of transfection. The gene introduced by transfection is called transgene. Promoter is a cis-acting nucleotide sequence on a DNA molecule, which promotes the initiation of transcription.
