    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.
