BT tоxin (the tоxin derived frоm the bаcteriа Bаcillus thuringiensis) is one of the pesticides that can be applied to crops in organic agriculture. Genetically engineered plants that are insecticidal (BT-plants) produce toxin in the plant's own tissues. Observe the graph below that shows the area of land in the US cultivated with BT-plants (left axis black line) and the number of BT-resistant insect species (red bars right axis). Select which of the following statements are supported. The rise of BT resistant insects coincident with the increase in use of BT-plants suggests insect species are evolving resistance to BT toxin by natural selection [ans1]. U.S. organic farmers are likely to start growing BT-plants so they do not need to externally apply the pesticide, saving them time and energy [ans2] U.S. organic agriculture may be negatively affected by the increased use of BT-plants in conventional agriculture because the BT toxin used by organic farmers may become less effective against insects.
