About Lesson

a) Recombinant DNA technology:

  • Used to accurately diagnose crop diseases.

b) Cell and tissue culture:

  • allows for the reproduction of disease-free planting material for crops.

c) Molecular Markers/Marker Assisted Selection:

  • Used to select plants or animals that possess a desirable gene, even in the absence of a visible trait.
