Which best illustrates the importance of DNA technology? an elephant calf that has a mutation in its DNAa dog that has a mechanical limba potato plant that is modified to resist pestsa flower that has a pattern designed by people

The correct answer would be "a potato plant that is modified to resist pests".

DNA technology or recombinant DNA technology refers to the set of technologies used in alteration of DNA sequence and introduction of foreign gene into the genome of an organism.

It is mainly used to cure a genetic diseases or to produce a new genetic combinations which are of great value to science, agriculture, medicine, and industry.

Production of pest-resistance crop is one of the advantages of DNA technology in which a foreign gene from a bacteria or other microbe is introduced in the crop. This gene enables the crop to become a pest-resistant variety.

For example, Bt cotton is resistant to bollworm and was produced by introducing a gene from bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis.

The answer is a potato plant that is modified to resist pests. This is called recombinant DNA technology. This is done by introducing genetic material (foreign to potato) into the genome of the potato and making it transgenic. This makes the potato confer particular attributes that are not natural in the wild type.
