Solution

  • Genetic engineering is also known as genetic modification, is a method by which the DNA of an organism is directly manipulated by different methods.
  • In bioloistic method, an alien DNA is made to enter the plant cells by high-speed bombardment of gold or tungsten particles.
  • In this technique, the DNA-coated particles are propelled by a pressurised gun called the gene gun to introduce the alien DNA into the plant cells.
