Compare and distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the production of genetically modified organisms.
Advantages of Producing GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms): Desirable phenotypic traits can be introduced in the crop plants by producing GM crops. A gene involved in the production of a specific protein can be introduced into a GM crop so that these crops produce that specific protein. New end products of the specific biochemical pathway are synthesized by genetically modified crops. The expression of existing unique genes can also be prevented using genetically modified crops. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) Production Disadvantages: Transformed or genetically modified (GM) crops can endanger wild or native species. GM crops may supply allergens that can cause health problems. GM crops can damage the natural environment.
