Foreign genes can be inserted into a single plant cell that is then cultured to produce

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When foreign genes are inserted into a single plant cell and this cell is cultured, it can lead to the creation of a genetically modified plant. This is because the inserted genes will be incorporated into the plant's DNA and will be expressed in its cells, leading to new traits or abilities. The resulting plant will carry these genetically modified traits in all its tissues, including its seeds. However, this process does not create a new plant species or clones of the organisms from which the genes were taken.
