The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks how Bt corn has been made resistant to corn borer disease through the introduction of a specific gene. 2. **Identifying the Relevant Genes:** There are two main cry genes associated with pest resistance in crops: - Cry 1 AB - Cry 2 AB 3. **Gene Introduction in Bt Corn:** The gene Cry 1 AB is specifically introduced into the corn plant (Bt corn) to confer resistance against the corn borer pest. 4. **Role of Bacillus thuringiensis:** The Cry proteins are derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which produces a toxin that is harmful to certain insects, including the corn borer. 5. **Conclusion:** Thus, the introduction of the Cry 1 AB gene into corn plants enables them to produce a toxin that protects against corn borer infestations, making the correct answer Cry 1 AB. **Final Answer:** Bt corn has been made resistant to corn borer disease by the introduction of the Cry 1 AB gene. ---
