AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about a process that uses high voltage electric current to transfer foreign DNA into cells. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Shotgun Method**: This method is primarily used for sequencing DNA and involves breaking the genome into smaller fragments. It does not involve the transfer of foreign DNA using electric current. - **Option 2: Micro Injection Method**: This method involves using a glass micro pipette to inject genetic material directly into a living cell. It does not involve the use of electric current. - **Option 3: Electroporation**: This method applies an electric field to cells to increase their permeability, allowing foreign DNA to enter. This is the process that uses high voltage electric current for DNA transfer. - **Option 4: Biolistic Method**: This method involves shooting DNA fragments into cells using a device known as a gene gun. It does not use electric current for the transfer. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the only method that involves the application of high voltage electric current to facilitate the transfer of foreign DNA is **Electroporation**. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Electroporation**. ---
