    Question

    To transfer genes from one organism to another, it is

    possible to introduce genes conferring disease resistance into crop plants by
    A Gene gun method Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Electroporation method Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Agrobacterium mediated method Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Gene transfer can be done through two methods: vector mediated and direct or vectorless method. The direct or vectorless methods are gene gun, electroporation, microinjection (physical methods), liposome mediated (chemical method) and vector mediated method is Agrobacterium mediated methods. Thus, all the abovementioned methods are effective gene transfer methods.
