Question

The cotton developed by transfer of Bt gene in cotton plant is known as:

A.

Organic Cotton

B.

Inorganic Cotton

C.

Transgenic Cotton

D.

Non-transgenic Cotton

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) Transgenic Cotton
Explanation:
Transgenic cotton refers to cotton that has been genetically modified by transferring a Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) gene into the cotton plant. The inclusion of this gene allows the plant to produce a protein that is toxic to specific pests,
such as the cotton bollworm, offering natural protection. This type of cotton is an example of a genetically modified organism (GMO).
Information Key Points:
  • The Bt gene provides resistance to cotton bollworm and other pests.

  • It reduces the need for chemical pesticides in cotton cultivation.

  • It is an example of genetic engineering to improve agricultural productivity.
