When exposed to air, the flesh of apples turn brown. Arctic apples are a result of introducing an anti-browning gene in the apple’s genetic makeup. Which technology was most likely used to produce the anti-browning property of the Arctic apple?

The anti-browning property comes from introducing a gene into the apple’s genetic makeup. Changing an organism’s DNA to give it a desired trait is genetic engineering, so the correct choice is genetic engineering. Xenotransplantation involves transferring tissues or organs between species, while the other choices do not describe this gene-based change.
