(lo 4.17) how could you create a transgenic plant?
a. insert the gene from a different species in the vector, infect a plant cell with the new gene, and grow a plant
from the cell.
b. add fertilizer to the environment where the plants are growing and select for the plants that have the gene you
are interested in having.
c. add herbicides to the environment where the plants are growing.
d. increase the number of consumers that eat the plants that you do not want.
e. cross-pollinate a plant with the pollen from a different species that has the gene that you want to add to the
plant.

The correct option is A.  Insert the gene from a different species in the vector, infect a plant cell with the new gene, and grow a plant  from the cell.

Explanation:

Transgenic plants can be described as plants which have a foreign gene inserted into their genome. Genes with the desired traits can be incorporated into plants by this method.

The gene of interest is selected and incorporated into vectors like plasmids. The vectors have multiple cloning site or recombination sites where the foreign gene can be incorporated.  The vector is introduced into the plant where it multiplies.

the cell theory states that all living things including animals, as well as plants, are made of cells.

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c
