Questions and Answers

Where does the inserted gene sequence in a transgenic crop come from?

It may come from another unrelated plant or a completely different species.

What is an example of a transgenic crop and its unique trait?

Transgenic Bt corn, which produces its own insecticide from a gene of a bacterium.

What is a transgenic crop plant?

A plant that contains a gene or genes artificially inserted instead of acquiring them through pollination.

Study Notes

Transgenic Crop Plants

  • A transgenic crop plant contains a gene or genes that have been artificially inserted, rather than acquired through pollination.
  • The inserted gene sequence is known as the transgene.
  • The transgene can come from another unrelated plant or from a completely different species.
  • Example: Transgenic Bt corn, which produces its own insecticide, contains a gene from a bacterium.

Genetically Modified (GM) Crops

  • Plants containing transgenes are often called genetically modified (GM) crops.
  • All crops have been genetically modified from their original wild state over time through domestication, selection, and controlled breeding.
