    Electroporation procedure involves:

    A) fast passage of food through sieve pores in phloem elements with the help of electric stimulation

    B) opening of stomatal pores during night by artificial light

    C) making transient pores in the cell membrane to introduce gene constructs

    D)  purification of saline water with the help of a membrane system

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Electroporation (electroporosity) is the process by which an electrical potential applied across plant cells in culture disrupts their membranes sufficiently to create tiny pores through which DNA in the medium can be taken up, a small fraction of which may get incorporated into the cells genome.
