The Peruvian Rosewood (Micrandra spruceana) plants are rare and not ideal for cultivation. If we can identify the enzymes that produce spruceanol we can produce this antimalarial compound in another species that can be efficiently cultivated. What would you have to insert into the host species to produce spruceanol in large quantities so it can be used as a drug

Answer :

Answer:

Gene.

Explanation:

Gene which is responsible for the production of spruceanol in the Peruvian Rosewood plant can be inserted in the host species in order to produce spruceanol  in large quantity so that we can used it as a drug that can cure antimalarial disease. There are certain genes that are responsible for the production of spruceanol in the Peruvian Rosewood plant so if we want to produce this spruceanol in other plants we have to transfer this gene to the host plant.
