Question

The transgenic plant tomato contains transgene ______ for the production of flavonoids.

Options

• Phytoene synthase

• Ferritin

• Chalone isomerase

• Phytase

Answer 1

The transgenic plant tomato contains transgene chalone isomerase for the production of flavonoids.

Explanation:

Chalcone isomerase is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids in plants. Transgenic tomatoes containing this gene can enhance flavonoid production, which improves nutritional value and antioxidant properties.
