Introduction of food plants developed by genetic engineering is not desirable because:

Options

  1. Aeconomy of developing countries may suffer
  2. Bthese products are less tasty as compared to the already existing products
  3. Cthis method is costly
  4. Dthere is danger of coming viruses, allergens and toxins with introduced crop

Correct answer

D. there is danger of coming viruses, allergens and toxins with introduced crop

Step-by-step solution

One specific concern is the possibility for GMOs to negatively affect human health. This could result from differences in nutritional content, allergic response, or undesired side effects such as toxicity, organ damage, or gene transfer. Related Theory Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical
