The transformation of a plant cell is successful if Question 9 options: a. the plasmid that entered the cell reproduces inside the cell. b. the foreign DNA is integrated into one of the cell's chromosomes. c. the cell reproduces. d. a plasmid has entered the cell.

b. the foreign DNA is integrated into one of the cell's chromosomes

Explanation:

Transformation involves following steps:

The plasmid is removed from the bacterium, and the T-DNA is cut by a restriction enzyme.Foreign DNA is cut by the same enzyme.The foreign DNA is inserted into the T-DNA of the plasmid.The plasmid is reinserted into a bacteriumThe bacterium is used to insert the T-DNA carring the foreing gene into the chromosome of a plant cell.The plant cells are grown into culture.A plant is generated from a cell clone. Al of its cells carry the foreign gene and may express it as a new trait.The transformation of a plant cell is successful if the foreign DNA is integrated into one of the cell's chromosomes.
