Assertion: The protein encoded by cry I Ab is not effective in control of cotton bollowrms Reason :Most Bt toxin are insect group specific

Assertion : 'Bt' toxin gene has been cloned from bacteria and expressed in plants to provide resistance from insect without the need of insecticides. Reason: 'Bt' toxin is produced from bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis.

Read the following and answer questions from Q.1. to Q.5. given below: Plants having foreign genes in their genome through genetic engineering are called transgenic plants. Genes can be incorporated either through a vector or through direct introduction of DNA. Bt cotton is a genetically modified organism which is pestresistant. It contains gene cry I Ac and cry II Ab of Bacillus thuringiensis. It is used to control lepidopterans, coleopterans and dipterans. Bt cotton can resist cotton bollworm and produce higher yields. Cry gene produces cry protein or Bt toxin. It is an endotoxin which remains as protoxin in plants and converted to active toxin after getting ingested by the insects. Alkaline pH of the insect gut solubilizes the protein crystals, the activated toxin creates pores to the mid guts wall of theinsects which cause them to death. Some strains of Bacillus thuringiensis can kill certain insects such as

Bacillus thuringiensis forms the protein crystals, which contains a toxic insecticidal protein. This proein I. is activated by alkaline pH of the gut of the insect pest. II.binds with the epithelial cells of the midgut of the insect pest ultimately killing it. III.does not kill the carrier bacterium which is itself resistance to this toxin. Which of the statement given above are correct ?
