What is a threat to the environment of transgenic crops?

A. Pollen from transgenic crops could carry the recombinant genes to wild relatives, with unpredictable consequences.

B. Wild animals might eat the transgenic crop and become genetically mutated "monsters."

C. Genes introduced into the plants could move to the organisms that eat the plants.

D. The products of the modified genes these crops carry are usually toxic and would be released to the environment if the plants die.

E. None of the above are threats.

What is a threat to the environment of transgenic crops?
Of these, A is the best answer.



The consequences aren't unpredictable, though. Eventually, the "roundup ready" genes will cross into "weeds." The result will be weeds that can't be killed with roundup, and will readily grow in fields that are treated with roundup.
Reply:I like A the best.
