When plants, especially crop plants. are genetically engineered they are completely uniform in all characteristics. They have no genetic diversity. If the crop should be attacked by pests that it has no defense for, all will be affected and perhaps die, and the crop would be totally worthless.

Why do people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
Some people prefer non-genetically engineered foods due to concerns about potential health risks, environmental impacts, or ethical considerations associated with genetic engineering. Others may prefer the taste or nutritional qualities of foods that are not genetically modified.
What are the dangers of biotechnology?
Some potential dangers of biotechnology include ethical concerns over genetic engineering and manipulation, the possibility of unintended consequences in genetically modified organisms, and the potential for misuse of biotechnology for harmful purposes such as bioterrorism. It is important to carefully regulate and monitor biotechnological advancements to mitigate these risks.
What are the risks with genetic engineering?
Some of the risks of genetically engineering plants are: * The crops may not be safe to eat in the long term * GM crops may cross breed with wild plants and release there genes into the wild with unpredictable results. * There would be less variation in the plant's genes, and if there are any faulty genes in the plants, disease among the plants would be more common. Some risks of genetically engineering animals are: * Animal products could be unsafe * The well being of the animal could be affected---e.g. if the animal was modified to produce more meat it would be fatter and wouldn't be able to move around * Something could go wrong and harm the animals. Some of the risks of genetically engineering humans are: * Something could go wrong and harm the person * Some people may realize they can decide how they want their unborn baby to look and abuse the power of genetic engineering by creating 'designer babies'.
Disadvantages of producing genetically modified plants?
Some disadvantages of producing genetically modified plants include potential harm to beneficial insects, unintended effects on non-target species, and the development of resistance in pests or weeds. Additionally, there are concerns about long-term environmental impacts and potential health risks to humans.
Why do some people prefer to eat that are not genetically engineered?
People prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered because the long term effects of eating genetically engineered plants is unknown.
Why do some people prefer eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
People prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered because the long term effects of eating genetically engineered plants is unknown.
Name some foods that are eaten as a result of technological engineering?
Protein-rich food supplement. Genetically-modified corn.
Does Genetically modified food help strike hunger?
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
What are some of the potential risks of biotechnology?
Some potential risks of biotechnology include unintended consequences on the environment, such as the spread of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to non-target species, and potential harm to human health from consuming genetically modified foods. There are also ethical concerns about the use of biotechnology in areas such as gene editing and cloning.
Why aren't all the foods we eat genetically engineered?
Some countries have not allowed genetic engineering on their exported goods, so depending on where you get it, it wont be engineered. Some people think engineering could be harmful, and some foods cannot sucessfully be engineered.
Four examples of genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering can be done with animals, produce and bacteria. Organisms that undergo genetic engineering are called genetically modified organisms. Some of the earliest GMOs were bacteria and mice. Food products, glofish and zebra fish are some of the more recent GMOs.
Are there any risks in marriage between blood relatives?
To some extent it is YES. Because genetically , gene are not compatible and the child born to this couple may suffer abnormalities.
