Question

What is genetic transformation?

Options

• The removal of native DNA from a plant genome to eliminate unwanted traits

• The transfer of proteins from one plant species to another without DNA involvement

• The integration of foreign DNA into a host plant's genome to introduce desirable traits

• The spontaneous mutation of plant genes under environmental stress

Answer 1

Genetic transformation is defined as the integration of foreign DNA into a host plant's genome. This process is used to introduce desirable traits such as resistance to insects, viruses, or herbicides.
