Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a potential risk associated with genetically modified crops? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what genetically modified (GM) crops are. They are plants whose DNA has been altered to enhance certain traits.
  • Step 2: Recognize that one goal of GM crops is to make them resistant to pests, which helps farmers.
  • Step 3: Consider what happens when pests are exposed to these GM crops over time.
  • Step 4: Realize that some pests may adapt and become resistant to the modifications in the crops.
  • Step 5: Acknowledge that if pests become resistant, farmers may face more challenges in controlling them, leading to potential crop damage.
