Me ! which of the following is an environmental concern of genetically modified foods? a) crops that are drought resistant are introduced providing food regardless of the unpredictable weather b) reduction cost of production for the crops c) an important ingredient may be introduced in a strain of rice for the poor who depend on rice as a primary food d) toxic substances produced as a pesticide may be consumed by unintended species

D

Toxic stuff is not good if an animal eats it or us we will die

toxic is bad

the answer is d

Explanation:

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
