Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ 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 $\text{DNA. Bt}$ cotton is a genetically modified organism which is pest resistant. It contain gene cry $\text{I Ac}$ and cry $\text{II Ab}$ of Bacillus thuringiensis. It is used to control lepidopterans, coleopterans and dipterans. $\text{Bt}$ cotton can resist cotton bollworm and produce higher yields. Cry gene produces cry protein or $\text{Bt}$ 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 solubilises the protein crystals, the activated toxin creates pores to the mid guts wall of the insects which cause them to death.
