Assertion : Agrobacterium tumefaciens is popular in genetic engineering because this bacterium is associated with the roots of all cereal and pulse crops.
Reason : A gene incorporated in the bacterial chromosomal genome gets automatically transferred to the crop with which the bacterium is associated .

Assertion: Agrobacterium tumefaciens is popular in genetic engineering because this bacterium is associated with roots of all cereals and pulse crops. Reason: A gene is incorporated in the bacterial chromosomal genome gets automatically transferred to the crop with which the bacterium is associated.

These questions consist two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertion and Reason are false. Assertion:Agrobacterium tumefaciens is popular in genetic engineering because this bacterium is associated with roots of all cereals and pulse crops. Reason: A gene is incorporated in the bacterial chromsomal genome gets automatically transferred to the crop with which the bacterium is associaated.

Assertion. Agrobacterium tumefaciene is popular in genetic engineering because this bacterium is associated with roots of all cereals and pulse crops Reason. A gene incorporated in the bacterial chromosomal genome gets automatically transferred to the crop with which the bacterium is associated.

Assertion: Agrobacterium tumifaciens is popular in genetic engineering because this bacteriusim associated with the root nodules of all cereals and pulse crops. reason: a gene incorporated in the bacterial chromosomal genome gets automatically transferred to the cross with which bacterium is associated.

Assertion : - Genetic variability is the root of any breeding programme. Reason :- Entire collection of plants and seeds having diverse alleles for all genes in a given crop is called germplasm collection.

Assertion: Genetic engineering is a quick and reliable technique for producing GM plants but is facing resistance from people Reason :It is facing resistance because it contains bacterial genes which may be toxic and causes allergy
