The "gene gun method" involves blasting foreign DNA at plant cells in an attempt to incorporate the foreign DNA into the plant cells' DNA. Suppose that scientists were trying to add the "cold temperature gene" which would allow tomatoes to be grown in cold temperature. When they used the "gene gun method," 70% of tomato plant cells did acquire the "cold temperature gene." If all of the plant cells from this experiment developed into fully grown plants, what would be TRUE? All of the tomato plants would survive in cold temperature 70% of the tomato plants would survive in cold temperature None of the tomato plants would survive in cold temperature 30% of the tomato plants would survive in cold temperature
