- 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.arrow_forwardDo you agree or disagree why? Prior to this video I had not been introduced to the concept of genetically modified babies or "designer babies". However, a concept that was brought up in comparison to the designer babies was IVF babies. This concept is more familiar to me and made me think of the great possibilities designer babies could bring, but at what cost? As IVF first became popular it seemed to be well known that was was a possibility for well-off financially families. Although designer babies may have benefits such as lowering the risk to develop hereditary diseases, I don't think this concept would be widely accessible to varying income levels.arrow_forwardDo you agree about the application of biotechnology in animal agriculture?
