Question

Answer 1

In Bt cotton, the Bt protein stops the larva to feed further.

Explanation:

After ingestion, activated Bt toxin damages the larva’s gut, so it stops feeding and eventually dies. The protein does not increase cotton protein, stop adult egg laying, or directly produce more cotton.
