<h2>Answer:</h2>

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

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • 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.

Chromosomes exchange genetic material in step 3.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The meiosis is the type of cell division that takes place for gametogenesis. The meiosis has two phases - meiosis I and meiosis II.

The meiosis I has the events like crossing over and independent assortment which leads to the mixing of genes between homologous chromosome pairs and separation of homologous chromosome pairs. So the two cells that are produced from the meiosis I are genetically different. The step 3 shows the crossing over of prophase 1 of meiosis I. So, it shows the genetic difference between the offsprings and leads to genetic variation.
