MCQs on TI Plasmid and its Applications in Biotechnology







A TI (tumour-inducing) plasmid is a type of circular DNA molecule found in certain strains of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. It plays a crucial role in the bacterium’s ability to infect plants and transfer genes into them, causing the formation of crown gall tumours. TI plasmids have been extensively studied and utilized in biotechnology for plant genetic engineering. This is an MCQ on TI Plasmid and its applications in biotechnology an genetic engineering.
