Which of the following is a limitation of conventional breeding, as compared with recombinant DNA technology?
A) The limited range of useful genetic variation
B) The length of time required by the process
C) The lack of precision
D) All of the above
E) None of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conventional breeding is limited by the range of useful genetic variation available within a species, the length of time required to produce desired traits through repeated breeding, and the lack of precision in selecting and isolating specific genes. Recombinant DNA technology, on the other hand, can introduce genes from any organism into the target organism, allowing for a much wider range of genetic variation to be utilized, and can specifically target and manipulate individual genes for precise changes. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
