Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reasons for the opposition of transgenic technology by some environmental groups using internet as transgenic crops often require fewer herbicides and insecticides than conventional crops so in that respect they could be considered environmentally friendly.

Concept introduction:

Transgenic plants are the plants that have been genetically engineered by using a breeding approach that uses recombinant DNA techniques to create plants with new characteristics.

Transgenic crops often require fewer herbicides and insecticides than conventional crops. In that respect, they could be considered environmentally friendly. Use the Internet to research the question of why some environmental groups oppose transgenic technology.
Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation is a method used to create transgenic plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium works exceptionally well as a natural genetic engineer. Describe briefly the creation of a transgenic plant using A. tumefaciens with illustration.
What is the role of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the production of transgenic plants?   Question 15 options:   Tomatoes get increased shelf life when exposed to the beneficial bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens.   Transgenic plants are all designed to be resistant to the disease causing bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens.   Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacteria that is used to move desired genes into the plant cells.     Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacteria that produces Bt toxins that kill small mammals.
