Can you suggest a method to remove oil (hydrocarbon) from seeds based on your understanding of $rDNA$ technology and chemistry of oil?

Option A

Option D

Solution

Recombinant $DNA$ technology $(rDNA)$ is a technique used for manipulating the genetic material of an organism to obtain the desired result. For example, this technology is used for removing oil from seeds. The constituents of oil are glycerol and fatty acids. Using $rDNA$, one can obtain oilless seeds by preventing the synthesis of either glycerol or fatty acids. This is done by removing the specific gene responsible for the synthesis.
