Question

Match the transgenic crop in Column I with the inserted gene in Column II. Choose the correct option

Column I	Column II
(A) Canola	(I) Metallothioein
(B) Tomato	(II) Chalon isomerase
(C) Sugarbeet	(III) Sucrase fructosyl transferase
(D) Rice	(IV) $γ$ - tocopherol methyl transferase

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Transgenic Canola is produced by inserting the $γ$ -tocopherol methyl transferase gene to increase vitamin E content.

Transgenic Tomato is produced by inserting the chalcone isomerase gene to increase the level of flavonoids.

Transgenic Sugarbeet is produced by inserting the sucrose fructosyl transferase gene to produce fructans.

Transgenic Rice is produced by inserting the metallothionein gene for iron biofortification.

Thus, the correct matching is A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I.

Answer: A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I
