Base your answer on the information and photograph below and on your knowledge of biology. Transgenic (GMO) Tomatoes The use of pesticides to control insects costs billions of dollars every year. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are an attempt to reduce this cost. Tomato plants that are genetically modified can make proteins that are poisonous to the insects that feed on them. Using these GMO tomatoes would reduce the need for the chemical control of insects. Identify the process responsible for passing the gene for insect resistance in a leaf cell of a genetically modified tomato plant on to the cells that develop from it.

The correct answer is - mitotic division or mitosis.

Explanation:

GMOs or genetically modified organisms are organisms, plants, animals whose DNA or genes are altered with the help of genetic engineers. In this case, transgenic tomatoes that are insect resistant, are produced to reduce the cost spend on using pesticides.

These altered genes transfer in the bacterium that reproduces in and passing the gene for insect resistance in a leaf cell onto the cells that develop from it.
