(ii) Cocaine
(iii) Marijuana
Answer
Plant breeding technology has been implemented in order to increase the yield and nutritive values in plants, the process were named as green revolution. Here the plants and subjected to plant biotechnology tool to develop nutritive and healthy disease resistance plant. This is achieved by insertion or deletion of gene. After green revolution yield of plants have increased.
