A) The foreign DNA enters the cell through self-healing holes in the membrane but it could not pass through the cell wall.
B) The cell wall prevents the transgenic cell from growing into a mature plant.
C) The cell wall makes it difficult for the biotechnician to determine if the foreign DNA has been incorporated into the cell's genome.
D) The cell wall prevents the microinjection of foreign DNA into the cell because the needle cannot pass through it.
