Detailed explanation-1: -Environmental concerns include : the risk of outcrossing, where genes from GMO foods pass into wild plants and other crops. a negative impact on insects and other species. reduction in other plant types, leading to a loss of biodiversity.
Detailed explanation-2: -GM crops could be harmful, for example toxins from the crops have been detected in some people’s blood. GM crops could cause allergic reactions in people. Pollen produced by the plants could be toxic and harm insects that transfer it between plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic modification produces genetically modified animals, plants and organisms. If they are introduced into the environment they can affect biodiversity. For example, existing species can be overrun by more dominant new species.
Detailed explanation-4: -Toxicity. Genetically engineered foods are inherently unstable. Allergic Reactions. Antibiotic Resistance. Immuno-suppression. Cancer. Loss of Nutrition.
