Question

Where is biolistic technique used?

• A. Tissue culture process
• B. Gene transfer process
• C. Hybridization process
• D. Germplasm conservation process

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Gene transfer process

• A gene gun is a system in which a particle is used to inject the genetic material directly into the cell.
• This method is known as biolistic particle delivery system which was originally designed for plant transformation.
• A metal particle is coated with the genetic material and transferred into the host cells to allow the foreign DNA to get incorporated into the host's genome.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
