The correct answer is:
The gene ' $X$ ' is responsible for controlling the copy number of the linked DNA and ' $Y$ ' for protein involved in the replication of Plasmid.
Correct answer is option (1), because
' $X$ ' in the given diagram is ori while ' $Y$ ' is rop.
' $X$ ' which is ori is responsible for controlling the copy number of the linked DNA and ' $Y$ which is rop codes for protein involved in the replication of plasmid.
Options (2), (3) and (4) are incorrect as ' $X$ ' and ' $Y$ ' are not related to these functions.
