उत्तर
Cry genes are specific genes that encode Cry proteins, which are crystalline proteins produced by certain strains of the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. These proteins act as toxins that kill specific insects like cotton bollworms and corn borers. The genes from Bacillus thuringiensis are incorporated into plants to provide resistance against insect pests, reducing the need for chemical insecticides and creating natural biopesticides.
