  1. Escherichia coli

  2. Bacillus thuringiensis

  3. Agrobacterium tumefaciens

  4. Staphylococcus aureus

Show answer
Correct Option: C

Which statement is wrong?

botany option b: biotechnology and bioinformatics biotechnology in agriculture gm crops transgenic organisms

  1. Nucleic acid is fragmented by nucleases

  2. Construction of recombinant DNA involves cleaving DNA segments with endonuclease and rejoining with ligase.

  3. Genetic engineering is making artificial limbs and diagnostic instruments

  4. $T _1$ plasmid transforms cells of plants.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In plant genetic engineering, the Ti plasmid can be used to carry foreign genes into plant cells. The Ti plasmid is the disease-causing agent of the soil-borne bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The Ti plasmid was then used to transform petunia cells in culture. So, the correct option is "D" (T1 plasmid transforms cells of plants).

Ti-plasmid used in genetic engineering has been modified by

botany option b: biotechnology and bioinformatics biotechnology in agriculture gm crops transgenic organisms

  1. Adding tumour forming genes

  2. Deleting tumour forming genes

  3. Adding genes for endonucleases

  4. Deleting genes for endonucleases

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The correct option is B.
Ti plasmid that is tumer-inducing plasmid refers to the plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Role of Ti plasmid in biotechnology is that it can be modified into a cloning vector by removing the genes responsible for pathogenicity.
