Question

A plant having low nutritional value is subjected to which of the following technique?

• A. Biofortification
• B. Electroporation
• C. Microinjection
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Biofortification

Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. This can be done either through selective breeding or genetic modifications. Breeding of crops with improved nutritional quality is undertaken to improve the content of proteins, oil, vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients in crops. The plant which has low nutritional value can interbreed with some plant which has high nutritional value to produce a new variety of plant.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
