The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is correct, we will analyze each option one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Option 1:** - The statement claims that "Bt in Bt cotton indicates that it is a genetically modified organism produced through biotechnology." - **Analysis:** Bt stands for Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium that produces proteins toxic to certain insects. Bt cotton is indeed genetically modified to express these proteins, making this statement true. 2. **Evaluate Option 2:** - The statement discusses somatic hybridization, stating that it involves the fusion of two complete plant cells. - **Analysis:** Somatic hybridization involves the fusion of protoplasts (the plant cells without their cell walls), not complete cells. Therefore, this statement is false. 3. **Evaluate Option 3:** - The statement mentions that the seeds of Transgenic Brassica napus are used for the production of antibiotics. - **Analysis:** Transgenic Brassica napus is known for producing anticoagulants like hirudin, not antibiotics. This statement is also false. 4. **Evaluate Option 4:** - The statement claims that the flavor-savory variety of tomato enhances ethylene production, improving its taste. - **Analysis:** Flavor-savor tomatoes are genetically engineered to delay softening by inhibiting the polygalacturonase enzyme, which does not directly enhance ethylene production for taste improvement. Thus, this statement is false. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, the only correct statement is from **Option 1**. ### Final Answer: **The correct statement is Option 1.** ---
