Insect pest resistant, Bt-cotton plant was developed using
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Transgenic technology
- Bt-cotton plant is a transgenic plant that produces an insecticide to bollworm.
- Bt-cotton is produced by inserting cry gene from bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis to the plant genome by the help of transgenic technology.
- The genetically modified DNA in recipient plant produces a toxin in sap and when insect attack on plant and suck the sap from the plant, these toxin binds with the gut wall of the insect and block the gut which leads to the death of the insect.
so option D is correct.
