State the reason why the introduction of genetically engineered food plants is considered undesirable by some, amidst these intricate options:
Developing countries' economy may experience adverse consequences.
The flavor and taste of these products are inferior to those of existing products.
The process of genetic engineering is financially burdensome.
The risk of introducing viruses and toxins alongside engineered crops is a concern.
Answers (1)
Genetically engineered crops undergo modifications in their genetic makeup, and there is a possibility of unintended consequences. This includes the inadvertent introduction of viruses or toxins that were not originally present in the plant. These elements can be harmful to human health and the environment if consumed or released into the ecosystem. To mitigate these risks, strict testing and regulations are in place. However, the concern about introducing viruses and toxins remains a factor that contributes to the perception that genetically engineered food plants are undesirable.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
