Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is known as natural genetic engineer. It is known to infect broad leaved crops such as, tomato, soyabean and tobacco. It causes tumours called crown galls. The tumour formation is induced by its plasmid-Ti. The plasmid integrates a segment of its DNA called T-DNA into chromosomal DNA of its host plant cells. It then causes tumours. i.e., gene transfer occurs without human effort.

A pea with white flower was crossed with another pea with white flower. When they selfed, the F2 generation produced purple and white in the ratio of 9:7. The reason for the result is that
it is typical monohybrid Mendelian ratio
purple flower colour is dominant over white
it is a complementary factor
