Recombinant DNA technology (Genetic Engineering) allows genes to be transferred

Across different species of plants.
From animals to plants.
From microorganisms to higher organisms.

Select the correct Solution using the codes given below.

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: Recombinant DNA technology allows genes to be transferred between different plant species to develop desired traits.

Statement 2 is correct: Genes from animals can be inserted into plants (e.g., Bt toxin genes from bacteria into plants, or other examples in research), so cross-kingdom gene transfer is possible.

Statement 3 is correct: Microbial genes are routinely transferred to higher organisms, such as insulin gene from bacteria to humans for production.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.
