a. transformants
b. new genes
c. bacteria
d. none of these
Is it C? Maybe A? Idk..
thanks a lot

Transforming cells means introducing new DNA ino them --> B

You know, I've heard of transformants before but for some reason the term didn't stick in my head. Anyway, yeah, transformants are factors in transformed cancer cells.

new genes might also be another possibility because of chromosomal breakage and combining again. This could result in the expression of completely new gene sequences.
bacteria -- no, I don't believe so.
a.) and b.) are your two best possibilities.

Boy, your instructor is a tricky one! When we transform (bacterial) cells we do so by causing them to "ingest" a circular bit of 'alien' DNA in the form of a plasmid or cosmid or what-have-you. The transformed cells are called (at least in the places I've worked) "transformants" (or more usualy, "bugs").
