• D. Transfer of a gene from parent to off spring

Answer 1

The correct option is D Transfer of a gene from parent to off spring

Biotechnology deals with the techniques of using live microorganisms, plant or animal cells or their components or enzymes from organisms to produce products and processes useful to human beings. It includes DNA manipulation, gene manipulation, recombinant DNA technology, and Genetic Engineering. Synthesis of genes, correction of genes, alteration of genes are included in Genetic Engineering.

Transfer of gene from parent to offspring is a normal way of heredity. All offsprings inherit some characters from their parents as a result of fertilization.

Thus the correct option is 'Transfer of a gene from parent to off spring'.
