What does it mean when a plant is a BT-plant?
BT-plant means plant having BT-gene like BT-cotton. These are transgenic plants developed by genetic engineering.
Additive and non-additive gene action?
Additive gene action is estimate of the quantitative change in a trait. Additive effect= mean of superior parent - mean of inferior parent Dominace effect = Mean of F1 hybrid - mean of both parent Epistatic = additive x additive = additive x dominace = dominace x dominace
What does fertile organism mean?
An organism that is capable of reproducing or breeding.
What is a set of genes that determine a trait?
A piece of DNA which controls a trait is a gene variations of a gene are called alleles. If you mean "controls how much a particular trait is expressed" then you would be dealiung with the promoter region of a gene which is near the start and controls how strongly a gene is expressed.
What does gene mean?

What does domestication mean?
The adaptation of an animal or plant through breeding in captivity to a life intimately associated with and advantageous to humans.
Additive and non-additive gene action?
Additive gene action is estimate of the quantitative change in a trait. Additive effect= mean of superior parent - mean of inferior parent Dominace effect = Mean of F1 hybrid - mean of both parent Epistatic = additive x additive = additive x dominace = dominace x dominace
What does plant breeding and hybridization mean?
plant breeding means the process of producing new varieties of plants through selection and cultivation. hybridization means the union of the male gametes from a particular species with the female gamete belonging to another species to produce a new zygote. by Gougin chongloi
Is it possible to have a knockout mutant plant that shows no visible phenotype that is different from the wild type plant?
Yes it is possible, not every gene present in an organism is expressed in the phenotype. example some genes code for a plant to be able to reproduce, a plant which has that gene knocked out does not necessarily mean that it would look any different from its wild type. The plant just wont be able to reproduce. H. Williams 2014.
What does it mean for a gene to be off?
How is a gene not expressed

What mean endangered?
If an animal or plant is endangered, it means that threats to its survival are considerable, and that action must be taken to ensure its continued existence. This action often takes place in particular forms of greater protection for the animal or plant's habitat.
