Explanation / Answer

6. Agrobacterium tumefaciens

This bacterium causes the crown gall disease, which involves the transfer of bacterial DNA to the plant.

7. Substantially in growth habit only, with minimal changes in genomic structure

Most of the genomic structure was kept intact, only the more edible phenotypes and mutants are bred until we got to the plants of the present
