Question:

Biolistic (gene gun) is suitable for: Disarming pathogen vectors, Transformation of plant cell, Constructing recombinant DNA by joining with vectors, DNA fingerprinting

Transformation of plant cell

Disarming pathogen vectors

Constructing recombinant DNA by joining with vectors

DNA fingerprinting

Solution:

The biolistic method is a method of transformation of plants. It is used to transfer foreign DNA into a plant cell. For the purpose, cells are bombarded with high-velocity micro-particles of gold or tungsten coated with DNA. So, the correct answer is option B.
