Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is a common concern regarding transgenic plants?
  • Step 1: Understand what transgenic plants are. They are plants that have been genetically modified to contain genes from other species.
  • Step 2: Recognize that these modifications can help plants resist pests or grow better.
  • Step 3: Identify a common concern: the fear that genes from transgenic plants might spread to wild plants that are related.
  • Step 4: Realize that if this gene transfer happens, it could change how wild plants grow and interact with their environment.
  • Step 5: Consider the impact on local ecosystems, which could be disrupted by these changes.
