Question

Which one of the following is correct statement?

विकल्प

• Bt in Bt cotton indicate that it, is a genatically modified organism produced through biotechnology

• Somatic hybridisation involves fusion of two complete plant cells carrying desired genes 

• The anticoagulant hirudin is being produced from transgenic Brassica napus seeds

• Flavr Savr variety of tomato has enhanced the production of ethylene which improves its taste

Answer 1

The anticoagulant hirudin is being produced from transgenic Brassica napus seeds

Explanation:

The anticoagulant hirudin is created using transgenic Brassica napus seeds. Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, is the name given to Bt cotton. This is a soil bacteria that exists naturally. Flavr Savr is a genetically modified tomato expressing delayed softening by inserting a second copy of PG expressing gene. Somatic hybridization includes a union of protoplast of two cells. The enzyme polygalacturonase (PG) is in charge of breaking down the pectin in cell walls.
