How Is the Ti Plasmid Used to Create Transgenic Plants

question 74

Multiple Choice

How is the Ti plasmid used to create transgenic plants?

• A) The Ti plasmid inserts the foreign gene directly into the plant's nuclear DNA.
• B) Once the Rhizobium radiobacter forms a tumour in the plant, the tumour cells can take up the foreign DNA and incorporate it into their chromosomes.
• C) The Ti plasmid allows all of the plant cells to host the bacteria Rhizobium radiobacter and thus express the foreign gene that was inserted into the bacterial chromosome.
• D) The Ti plasmid inserts the foreign DNA into the DNA in the chloroplast.
