Question

2 Summarize how the Ti plasmid is used to insert genes into plant cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

"Genetically modified" is a technology used to insert genes into plants.

Explanation:

GM is a skill that includes implanting DNA into the genome of an organism. To produce a GM plant, new DNA is transported into plant cells. Generally, the cells are then grown in tissue culture where they grow into plants. Central to the pathogenesis of A. tumefaciens is the Ti (tumor inducing) plasmid and the allocation of a DNA section (T-DNA) from the plasmid to the cytoplasm of the plant cell, where it is introduced into the nucleus and combined into the plant genome. In plant genetic engineering, the Ti plasmid can be used to transmit foreign genes into plant cells. The Ti plasmid is the disease-causing agent of the soil-borne bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The Ti plasmid comprising the changed T DNA region can then be used to supplement the anticipated genes into plant chromosomes.
