Solution
The correct option is D Biolistic method
- In microinjection, a glass-made micropipette is used for DNA transfer.
- The chemical-mediated genetic transformation uses chemical agents.
- In Electroporation, the target cells are mixed and treated with an electric field to create pores for DNA entry.
- In the biolistic method or gene gun method, the foreign DNA is precipitated over the surface of metals like; gold or tungsten, and bullets are prepared.
- These bullets are then fired into the solution of target cells. This foreign DNA gets inserted and helps in the production of desired products.
