Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The main concerns around GMOs involve allergies, cancer, and environmental issues-all of which may affect the consumer. While current research suggests few risks, more long-term research is needed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering allows scientists to select one specific gene to implant. This avoids introducing other genes with undesirable traits. Genetic engineering also helps speed up the process of creating new foods with desired traits.
