B) to create interesting looking pets.

C) the florescent cells can help track the movement of cells.

D) to create light in a dark laboratory.

Answer 1

The answer is C) The fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fluorescent animals such as rabbits have been created by using the GFP gene that is the Green Fluorescent Protein, which occurs naturally in the Aequorea Victoria jellyfish. In this way, the protein was extracted from jellyfish and used in mammals, including rabbits. This particular use of genetics does not only make animals glow in the dark but also helps geneticists to study cells as it makes visible how cells move, develop or change. Thus, the correct answer is C.
