How were the following plants produced from the wild mustard plant?

• Cloning

• Selective Breeding

• Using RNAi techniques

• It was genetically modified (they are GMOs)

How does selective breeding work?

• A gene from one organism is inserted into the genome of another organism using sticky ends.

• Organisms with a desirable trait are breed together until offspring show improved trait

• Gene are silenced by harnessing our bodies natural defense system against viruses.

• An organism is reproduced by removing the nucleus from one of its cells and inserting that nucleus into an egg, which is then develops in a surrogates womb.
