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.
What is Bt gene?
A gene isolated from a bacterium that produces a crystalline protein that when eaten by insects shreds their insides kills them. Acts as an effective biological alternative to pesticide for this reason.
How could a person find out if there is a fault on their BT line?
The easiest way to determine if there is a fault on the BT line is to try using the line. If there is an interferrence free connection then the line will be fine. BT's website also enables you to enter your telephone number and it will tell you if there are any reported issues with your line.
How bt corn is made?
Bt corn is made by introducing vector plasmids into agrobacterium by electroporation. Electroporation is the creation of transporent pores in the membrane of a cell, through the application of a high-voltage electrical pulse.
What are four ways in which transgenic animals have been used?
1. Transgenic E. coli is used to mass produce amino acids, vitamins and organics used as supplements for animals. 2. Plants such as corn and soy have the bt gene, which gives them pest resistance, lowering the need of pesticide use. 3. GFP (green fluorescent protein) is mass produced using various microbes after the gene coding for it is transcribed into them. 4. Transgenic turf-grass can synthesize protein which can help resist drought.
Bt corn is a genetically modified crop that contains a gene from another species Which characteristic does this gene give the plant?
The gene inserted into Bt corn is from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which produces a protein toxic to insect pests. This gene helps the plant generate a toxin that targets specific insects such as corn borers.
What does the Bt gene produce and how does it affect insects that eat plants that express the gene?
The Bt gene produces a soil-inhabiting bacteria. This bacteria is known to be made into insecticides and kills insects that eat plants with the Bt genes.
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.
What is bt crop?
BT stands for a bacterium "Bacillus Thuringiensis" and BT crops are genetically engineered crops.A genetically engineered plant is generated in a laboratory by altering its genetic makeup. This is usually done by adding one or more genes to a plant's genome using genetic engineering techniques. Agene of "Bacillus Thuringiensis" is inserted to the genome of BT plant to produce a new plant that is BT plant.
How was Bt corn probably created?
To make Bt corn, a gene is taken from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis. The gene produces a protein that kills corn borer larvae, so growers can use Bt corn as an alternative to spraying insecticides.
What are the possible gametesafter meiosis for the genotype BbTt?
The possible gametes after meiosis for the genotype BbTt are BT, Bt, bT, and bt. The two alleles for each gene (B/b and T/t) will assort independently during meiosis, leading to four possible combinations of alleles in the gametes.
What is Bt gene?
A gene isolated from a bacterium that produces a crystalline protein that when eaten by insects shreds their insides kills them. Acts as an effective biological alternative to pesticide for this reason.
Does BT charge for using facebook and youtube?
no
Why the the cry gene of Bt cotton is not harmful to humans?
The Cry gene in Bt cotton encodes a protein that is toxic to certain insect pests like caterpillars and not harmful to humans because the protein specifically targets the insect digestive system, which is different from humans. Additionally, the protein is broken down during digestion, so it does not accumulate in the human body. Extensive studies have confirmed the safety of Bt crops for human consumption.
What are the benefits of using BT Broadband wireless internet connection?
BT Broadband claim to be one of the fastest operators in the UK. They have packages which include free Internet Security software and storage, as well as free BT Wi-Fi. BT Sport is now also free with their broadband packages.
What precautions should be taken while using BT cotton?
vhb
Where can one take a course to learn about BT Broadband?
If you are referring to learning about broadband as a consumer then you need to head to the official BT website where BT offers extensive help pages for using their services. If you are referring to working as a BT engineer which involves Broadband then you would need to contact the BT recruitment division to find out what training they provide their staff and if there are vacancies available.
