KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 9. Biotechnology: Principles and Processes
Biolistics method is suitable for gene transfer into __________
- A plant cells
- B viruses
- C animal cells
- D bacteria
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) plant cells
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) plant cells,
High velocity microprojectiles are suitable to deliver DNA into the plant cells. After being accelerated, small tungsten or gold particles (microporjectiles) pierce cell walls and membranes and enter intact plant cells without killing them. This technique is termed as biolistics or gene gun.
