Step 1
Wheat plants with transferred genes for resistance to rust disease are known as
Answer
The correct terminology for wheat plants that have had genes transferred to them for specific traits, such as disease resistance, is 'transgenic.' This term refers to organisms that have genetic material from other species inserted into their DNA through genetic engineering techniques. Therefore, the answer is B. transgenic.
