Which of the following bacteria generally used in genetic engineering for transfer of character from one organism to another
A. Bacillus thuringinesis
B. Pseudomonas syringe
C. Rhizobium meliloti
D. Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Agrobacterium tumefacien bacteria are generally used in genetic engineering for the transfer of character from one organism to another.Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil bacterium, which is used to transfer a small segment of DNA into the plant genome by the process known as transformation.
The T-DNA that Agrobacterium inserts into the plant genome contains instructions that will be copied into every cell that develops from this first genetically modified cell.
