Question

Binary vector systems can also be used for transferring the DNA via agrobacterium.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The origin of the question is Vascular Plants topic in section Using Other Organisms of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

Easy explanation: As, we know Ti plasmid is difficult to manipulate because eof larger size, other alternatives are used. Binary vector system contains the gene of interest flanked by border repeats. Border repeats are the sequences present in the Ti plasmid originally. With the help of it, transfer is done into the plants.
