  1. The genetically-modified (GM) brinjal in India has been developed for:
    1. insect-resistance
    2. enhancing shelf life
    3. enhancing mineral content
    4. drought-resistance
Correct Option: A

The genetically modified brinjal in India has been developed for insect resistance. Bt brinjal is a transgenic brinjal that is developed by inserting a crystal gene from the Bacillus thuringiensis into the brinjal’s genome. This process of insertion is accomplished using Agrobacterium mediated recombination.
