Question

What are Bt crops? Explain in brief about how they are produced with a suitable example?

Answer 1

Bt Crops are named for Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a bacteria that naturally produces a crystal protein that is toxic to many pest insects. Bt crops are crops that are genetically engineered to produce the same toxin as Bt in every cell of the plant, with the goal of protecting the crop from pests.

The example is Bt cotton.
