One way GM crops may affect biodiversity is through cross pollination with non-GMO and organically grown varieties. Cross pollination could eliminate non-GMO foods over time, and actually, even now no foods that contain corn, soy, canola, and other varieties that have been genetically modified can be guaranteed to be GMO free, not even if they are labeled "100% organic."
It is not likely that they will.
Some disadvantages of growing genetically modified crops include potential harm to non-target organisms, reduced biodiversity, development of resistance in pests and weeds, and uncertainty about long-term environmental and health effects.

Bioengineered crops and genetically modified (GM) crops often refer to similar concepts, but there are subtle distinctions. Bioengineered crops are those that have been altered using biotechnology techniques, which may include methods like gene editing. In contrast, genetically modified crops typically refer to those that have had specific genes inserted or modified using traditional GM techniques. Essentially, all bioengineered crops can be considered genetically modified, but not all genetically modified crops fall under the broader category of bioengineering, as the latter encompasses a wider range of biotechnological innovations.
It really depends what type of genetically modified crop it is
Genetically modified crops are crops with plants that have been genetically altered in order to increase the yield of the crop. For example, the plant may have been genetically altered to become bigger or more resistant to bugs.

Genetically modified crops can have negative impacts on biodiversity, create concerns about potential health risks, and lead to domination of agricultural markets by a few companies. Additionally, there are ethical concerns about the control of genetic resources and the long-term effects of these crops on the environment.
No, because the crops are just grown faster than normal.
A lot of people are against genetically modified crops being grown because of potential negative health effects. The effects of altering crops genetically are also not known due to the process being relatively new.
