Question 7

Scientists transfer a gene for a fluorescent protein into a newly fertilised zebrafish egg. The gene is transferred before the egg cell starts to divide.

Why is the gene transferred before the egg cell starts to divide?

[1]
A

So the transferred gene is copied as cells are produced during growth

B

So the transferred gene replaces every gene already in the egg cell

C

So the transferred gene is kept only in the fish's reproductive cells

D

So the transferred gene prevents the egg cell from developing mutations
