Statement 2 is Incorrect: Mutation breeding is not one of the techniques to produce transgenic plants.
Mutation breeding is the process of exposing seeds to chemicals or radiation in order to generate mutants with desirable traits to be bred with other cultivars.
Plants created using mutagenesis are sometimes called mutagenic plants or mutagenic seeds
Statement 3 is correct: Golden rice is a transgenic variety of rice with genes for synthesis of Beta carotene taken from the Daffodil plant and inserted into rice. The beta carotene is converted into vitamin A.
