Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of the virulence genes in Agrobacterium?
  • Step 1: Understand that Agrobacterium is a type of bacteria that can infect plants.
  • Step 2: Learn that Agrobacterium has special genes called virulence genes.
  • Step 3: Know that these virulence genes help the bacteria to attach to plant cells.
  • Step 4: Realize that the virulence genes enable the bacteria to transfer a piece of DNA called T-DNA into the plant cell.
  • Step 5: Understand that once T-DNA is inside the plant cell, it can change how the plant grows.
