To solve this problem, we need to determine the fate of a piece of DNA carrying only a gene of interest when transferred into an alien organism. Let's analyze each option:$\newline \bullet$A. The piece of DNA would be able to multiply itself independently in the progeny cells of the organism.$\newline$ - This is unlikely because, for independent replication, the DNA would need an origin of replication compatible with the host's cellular machinery.$\newline \bullet$B. It may get integrated into the genome of the recipient.$\newline$ - This is possible if the DNA integrates into the host genome through recombination or other mechanisms.$\newline \bullet$
