∙ 12y agoGene characteristics refer to the specific attributes or traits encoded within a gene, such as eye color or height. These characteristics are determined by the sequence of nucleotides within the gene that influences how proteins are produced and function in an organism. Gene characteristics play a key role in determining an individual's physical and biological traits.

Yes, a single gene can control more than one characteristic through a concept called pleiotropy. This occurs when a gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated traits or phenotypes. Examples include the gene responsible for sickle cell anemia, which can also affect resistance to malaria, or the gene responsible for Marfan syndrome, which can impact the heart, eyes, and skeleton.

The gene inserted into Bt corn is from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which produces a protein toxic to insect pests. This gene helps the plant generate a toxin that targets specific insects such as corn borers.
