Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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. These and other potential effects are considered during the licensing procedure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biodiversity Loss: The use of some GM crops can have negative impacts on non-target organisms and on soil and water ecosystems.
