There are no proven threats. There are any number of baseless, emotional threats which range from the almost reasonable such as cross-pollination to the other end of the spectrum -- poisoned Monarch Butterflies.

What is the first transgenic crop created bt man?
The first genetically modified crop is tomamto(flavrsavr).
Golden rice is a promising transgenic crop When released for cultivation it will help in.?
Herbicide tolerance
What of the following is not a use for transgenic organisms?
Using transgenic organisms as food sources is not a common use. Benefits of transgenic organisms include producing pharmaceuticals, understanding gene function, and improving crop resistance to pests and diseases.
Transgenic crop plants which contain the insecticidal protein gene from the bacterium bacillus thuringiensis are not registered for use in the US?
false
What is one practical application for each of the following transgenic bacteria transgenic animal transgenic plants QUICK?
Practical applications are: bacteria: they are easy to grow animal: study genes and improve the food supply plant: They are an important part of our food supply because they produce a natural insecticide so they don't have to be sprayed.

How hybridisation of farm crop is done?
Hybridization of any sexual reproduction type farm crop consists of taking the pollen from one plant and applying it to the stamens of another, while preventing the plant's own pollen from contaminating the process. There are a multitude of ways of doing this depending on the species of crop. Maize, or corn, for example, is hybridized simply by removing the tassels (pollen-producing organs) from some plants and allowing pollen from other plants to fertilize the kernels on the ear.
Are transgenic crop plants registered for use in the US?
Yes. Most are herbicide resistant (soybean, canola) or produce insecticidal proteins (BT corn, cotton).
What makes something transgenic?
An organism is considered transgenic if it has had genes from another species inserted into its genetic makeup through genetic engineering techniques. This can lead to the expression of traits or characteristics not originally found in the organism. Transgenic organisms are typically created for research purposes, to express desired traits, or for agricultural applications such as pest resistance or improved crop yields.
What was the greatest threat to Georgia colony?
the Peanut crop dying. they depend on peanuts to export.
How can transgenic organism effect you?
Transgenic organisms can have both positive and negative effects on humans. Positive effects include increased crop yields, improved nutrition, and potential for medical breakthroughs. Negative effects can include environmental concerns, such as cross-breeding with wild populations, and potential health risks if the transgene produces allergenic proteins.
