Accomplishments of RDNA Methods for Agriculture Include

Question

Accomplishments of rDNA methods for agriculture include
A)antisense DNA to prevent softening of tomatoes.
B)Pseudomonas expressing Bt toxin.
C)disease resistant food animals.
D)antisense DNA and disease resistant food animals.
E)antisense DNA,Bt-expressing Pseudomonas and disease resistant food animals.

Accepted Answer

The best choice is E, which includes all three options: antisense DNA, Bt-expressing Pseudomonas, and disease-resistant food animals. Antisense DNA has been used to prevent softening of tomatoes, which can help to extend their shelf life. Bt-expressing Pseudomonas is a type of genetically modified bacteria that has been used to control pest insects in crops. Disease-resistant food animals have been produced using rDNA techniques, which can improve animal health and reduce the use of antibiotics in agriculture. Therefore, choice (E) includes all the major accomplishments of rDNA methods for agriculture.
