Plasmids are used as vectors in plant and bacterial genetic engineering. However, there is a major difference in the fate of genes introduced into bacteria on most bacterial plasmids and into plants on tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmids. What is this difference

A) In bacteria, genes are stably expressed; in plants, gene expression is always lost quickly. B) Gene expression tends to decrease rapidly and unpredictably in bacteria; gene expression is much more stable in plants. C) Bacterial plasmids are circular DNAs; Ti plasmid DNA is linear. D) Bacterial plasmids and the genes they carry usually are not integrated into the chromosome; Ti plasmids and the genes they carry are integrated into the chromosome. E) Bacterial plasmids typically do not modify the growth of the host cells; Ti plasmids modified for genetic engineering always produce plant galls.
