Expert Answer:
Selectable marker genes are antibiotic resistance genes that help to select the host cells that contain the vector (transformants) and eliminate the non-tranformants. Antibiotic resistance genes such as ampicillin, tetracycline are useful selectable markers for E.coli. Thus, antibiotic resistance genes in a vector usually helps in the selection of transformed cells.
