Mention the type of host cells suitable for the gene guns to introduce an alien DNA.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Undifferentiated plant cells are the most suitable host cells for the gene guns to introduce an allien DNA. It is because plant cells have rigid cell wall which can be easily broken down by bombarding them with high velocity micro-particles of gold or tungsten coated with DNA in a gene gun.
