question 15

Multiple Choice

• A) Bacteria cells readily take up foreign DNA, and once those are transformed, they can infect the cells of the desired species (rice cells in this case).
• B) By bathing the cells (rice cells in this case) with a solution of highly concentrated DNA, some will be taken up by the cells.
• C) By specifically injecting the foreign DNA into the cell (rice cells in this case)
• D) Bacteria cells take up the foreign DNA and then scientists inject those cells into the desired cells (rice cells in this case).
• E) By specifically injecting the foreign DNA into bacteria cells and then injecting those cells into the desired cells (rice cells in this case)
