Can you suggest a method to remove oil (hydrocarbon) from seeds based on your understanding of rDNA technology and chemistry of oil? 

Answer:

The removal of oil (hydrocarbon) from seeds involves genetic engineering or rDNA technology which transforms an oil producing seed into an oil les seed. During this process, the specific enzyme which is responsible for production of oil is identified and then the particular gene which produces this enzyme is repressed by the process of RNA interference (RNAi) or antisense technology.
