- How recombinant DNA technology revolutionized the field of crop genetics? Explain with suitable examples.arrow_forwardBefore, plant breeding was done by crossing the genes of two plants with desirable characteristics. This technique has been successful in producing improved varieties of crop plants, but it is time consuming and complicated. Because of genetic engineering, these problems can now be avoided. Plants are inserted with "super" genes to exhibit improved or better traits compared to their ordinary counterparts. These plants are therefore called transgenic plants.

He is breeding for size and wants to have many watermelons with the phenotype for long shape as possible. In watermelons, the allele for short shape is (S) is dominant to the allele for long shape. Determine the Genotypic ratios and phenotypic ratios for each Punnett square. Which cross would yield the highest number of long watermelons?
