Solution
The correct option is A CryAb
- Bacillus thuringiensis is a species of bacteria that produces proteins that are toxic to certain insects. Because of this, it has been used as a safe microbial insecticide for over 50 years to control pest caterpillars.
- Bt corn, a.k.a. transgenic corn, is corn that has been modified to produce the insecticidal proteins that occur naturally in Bt. There are several strains of Bt, and each produces different insecticidal proteins, in the form of crystals (Cry proteins), which control specific groups of insect pests.
- CryAb has been introducing in Bt corn to protect it from corn borer.
So, the correct option is option A.
