Answer:

The inserted gene from the bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis) produces a protein (Bt delta endotoxin) which kills the corn borer caterpillar by binding to the gut wall of the insects when the insects ingest a part of the plant that contains this protein. The insect would stop feeding immediately this protein binds to the gut wall of the insect, which leads to the eventual death of the corn borer caterpillar as the gut wall breaks down.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: C. Microfilaments

Explanation: Microfilaments, also called actin filaments, are protein filaments in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that form part of the cytoskeleton. They are primarily composed of polymers of actin, but are modified by and interact with numerous other proteins in the cell. Microfilaments, or actin filaments, are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton and are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The polymers of these linear filaments are flexible but still strong, resisting crushing and buckling while providing support to the cell.
