Genetically modified (GM) crops can be produced by

  • Correct answer
    A
    recombinant DNA technology
  • B
    somatic hybridization
  • C
    cross breeding
  • D
    micropropagation

Solution

Transgenic plants or genetically modified (GM) crops are those plants in which a foreign gene has been introduced and integrated into the host DNA via recombinant DNA technology. The transfer or introduction of a foreign gene results in the production of desirable traits like disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide resistance, etc.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
