Question

The fourth and final step of genetic transformation, Transmission, ensures which outcome?

Options

• The foreign DNA is stabilised within organelles

• The foreign DNA is physically delivered into plant cells

• The transformed cells develop into mature tissue

• The foreign genes are passed down to subsequent generations

Answer 1

Transmission is the fourth step of genetic transformation, ensuring that the foreign genes are passed down to subsequent generations. This step confirms that the introduced trait is heritable and can be maintained in the plant's offspring through normal reproduction.
