Electroporation procedure involves:

  1. A
    fast passage of food through sieve pores in phloem elements with the help of electric stimulation
  2. B
    opening of stomatal pores during night by artificial light
  3. C
    making transient pores in the cell membrane to introduce gene constructs
  4. D
    purification of saline water with the help of a membrane system.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Electroporation is a technique used in biotechnology to introduce foreign DNA into host cells. It involves applying a high-voltage electrical pulse to cells, which causes the temporary (transient) formation of pores in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, allowing the entry of gene constructs or other molecules.
