Answer:
Bt corn is a genetically modified organism that contains a gene of bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Bt corn is a type of transgenic crop that contains a gene which produces a crystal-like protein which has an insecticidal effect.
- This gene is present in bacteria. This gene is transferred to the plant by the recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering.
- This bacterium is a soil bacterium which has no side effects on humans.
- Due to use of this technology, the poisonous chemical insecticides are not used in crop production.
