Best answer
Answer: C. Chalone isomerase
Answer: (c) Chalone (chalcone) isomerase
Transgenic tomato carrying the chalcone isomerase gene produces more flavonols (flavonoids), which act as antioxidants. Phytoene synthase is used in Golden rice (beta-carotene), ferritin for iron-rich rice and phytase for better phosphorus availability.
