Genetically modified (GM) crops can be produced by
A
recombinant DNA technology
B
somatic hybridization
C
cross breeding
D
micropropagation
Answer
recombinant DNA technology
Explanation
Solution
Transgenic plants or genetically modified (GM) crops are those plants in which a foreign gene has been introduced and integrated into the host DNA via recombinant DNA technology.
