Transgenic plants are

Options

A. generated by introducing foreign DNA into cell and regenerating a plant from that cell
B. produced after protoplast fusion in artificial medium
C. grown in artificial medium after hybridisation in the field
D. produced by a somatic embryo in artificial medium

Answer

A

Explanation

The plants obatined through genetic engineering contain a gene or genes usually from an unrelated organism, such genes are called transgenes and the plants containing transgenes are known as transgenic plants. These plants are often called as genetically modifed or GM crops, e.g. flar savr, toamtoes, golden rice. plants are made transgenic for identificatin, expresing the gene activity in time, to produce several chemicals like fatty acids, sugars, cellulose, rubber, etc.
