Pick the INCORRECT answer regarding genetically engineered plant virus infection:

Tobacco mosaic virus is a common plant virus

Any type of virus can be used to infect the plant

The infected plant expresses the genes that encode the antigen introduced by the plant virus

Plants will die during infection by the plant virus

Pick the INCORRECT answer regarding agroinfiltration

Different genes can be introduced into a single leaf

Nicotiana benthamiana is the most common host plant for agroinfiltration

Any part of the plant can be agroinfiltrated

A. Tumefaciens carrying the gene of interest is introduced into the host plant

Based on the video, why are plants with leaves that are too old not used?

They produce proteins at a lower rate

It is hard to screen for the protein of interest in them

Their leaves are too big

Their leaves are too thick
