Recombinant DNA technology (Genetic Engineering) allows genes to be transferred
- Across different species of plants.
- From animals to plants.
- From microorganisms to higher organisms.
Select the correct Solution using the codes given below.
Detailed Explanation:
✅ Statement 1 – Correct: Recombinant DNA technology enables gene transfer across different plant species to introduce desirable traits like disease resistance.
✅ Statement 2 – Correct: Animal genes can be transferred to plants; for example, antifreeze protein genes from cold-water fish have been introduced into tomatoes and strawberries for frost tolerance.
✅ Statement 3 – Correct: Genes from microorganisms are routinely transferred to higher organisms; Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genes from soil bacteria are transferred to crops like cotton and corn for pest resistance.
