Recombinant DNA technology (Genetic Engineering) allows genes to be transferred

  1. 1.across different species of plants
  2. 2.from animals to plants
  3. 3.from microorganisms to higher organisms

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

  1. A.1 only
  2. B.2 and 3 only
  3. C.1 and 3 only
  4. D.1, 2 and 3
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: D. 1, 2 and 3

Recombinant DNA technology is a foundational tool in genetic engineering, enabling the precise manipulation and transfer of genes. This technology is not limited by species boundaries, allowing for gene transfer between different plant species. Furthermore, it facilitates the movement of genetic material from animals into plants and from microorganisms into more complex organisms, a capability crucial for research, medicine, and agriculture.
