Bt cotton is a genetically modified crop that contains a gene from:
A. Bacillus thuringiensis
B. Pseudomonas fluorescens
C. Escherichia coli
D. Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bt cotton is a transgenic crop developed by inserting cry genes (e.g., cryIAc, cryIIAb) from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). These genes code for crystal proteins (Cry proteins) that are toxic to certain insect pests, particularly the cotton bollworm. When the insect ingests the protein, it is activated in its alkaline gut, creating pores in the gut lining, leading to the insect's death.
