View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

The bacteria commonly used for genetic engineering is Agrobacterium. Agrobacterium tumefaciens, in particular, is known for its ability to transfer DNA to plants, and it is widely used in the creation of genetically modified plants. This capability is harnessed in biotechnology for the purpose of introducing new traits to plants, such as resistance to pests, diseases, or harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, the correct option is :

Option C : Agrobacterium
