Recombinant DNA technology allows genes to be transferred

1. Across different species of plant
2. From animals to plants
3. From microorganisms to higher organisms
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) 1 and 3 only
d) 1, 2 and 3


Ans- d
Explanation- Statement 1 is correct. As you can see in this, donor and receiver are different species of plants.
Statement 2 is correct. As this article says,
“In 1953, scientists discovered the structure of DNA, and in 1972, researchers developed a method for cutting and splicing DNA. That method became known as recombinant DNA, or rDNA, because it enabled scientists to cut and recombine segments of DNA. Since then, researchers have learned how to move genetic material in the form of DNA from one plant or animal to another. They can also take DNA from an animal and place it in a plant, and vice versa.”
Above link proof statement 3 is correct too
