Question

Terminator gene
(a) helps in terminating flowering
(b) helps in terminating seed germination
(c) used in hybridisation
(d) none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Terminator gene or lethal gene is used in terminator technology. It is used for restricting the use of genetically modified plants by making seed sterile. In this method, terminator gene is added to a crop. The terminator process is initiated by adding an inducer. This sterile seeds are then sold to farmers. Farmers plant seeds, grow plants and harvest mature but sterile seeds.
