Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Bt-cotton. Bt-cotton is not a product of Recombinant DNA Technology.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA testing can also be used to identify pathogens, identify biological remains in archaeological digs, trace disease outbreaks, and study human migration patterns. In the medical field, DNA is used in diagnostics, new vaccine development, and cancer therapy.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Introduction of genetically engineered genes into human germs cells’.
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA and molecular biology has advanced by leaps and bounds. It has found use in pharmacology, genetic engineering in disease prevention, in increasing agricultural growth, in detection of disease and crime (forensics) etc.
