Assertion : GM crops can affect human health by causing allergic reactions. Reason: Transgenes in commercial crops can endanger native species e.g., the B t toxin gene expressed in pollen might endanger pollinators like honeybees.

Step-by-step solution

The transgenic food may cause toxicity or produce allergies. The enzyme produced by the antibiotic resistance can cause allergies, because it is a foreign protein. The introduction of transgenic plants into agriculture is creating some issues. One of them is the potential risk of transgene in commercial crops endangering native or nontarget species. For example the gene for Bt toxin expressed in pollen might endanger pollinators like honeybees.
