Questions
31 Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals which contain insecticidal protein. This protein
1 Binds with epithelial cells of midgut of the insect pest ultimately killing it
2 Does not kill the carrier bacterium which is itself resistant to this toxin
3 Is activated by acid pH of the foregut of the insect pest
4 Is coded by several genes including the gene cry

Answer: Binds with epithelial cells of midgut of the insect pest ultimately killing it
