Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid is naturally found in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium is used in plant genetic engineering to transfer genes into plant cells, particularly in the development of genetically modified crops.
