    Bt corn is a genetically modified organism that contains a gene of bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis.

    Explanation: Bt corn is a type of transgenic crop that contains a gene which produces a crystal-like protein which has an insecticidal effect. This gene is present in bacteria. This gene is transferred to the plant by the recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering. This bacterium is a soil bacterium which has no side effects on humans. Due to use of this technology, the poisonous chemical insecticides are not used in crop production.
