Which of these is a drawback of growing a crop that has been genetically modified to resist an herbicide? A. Farms that grow the crop cannot use other pest-management techniques. B. The technique works only when farmers use the herbicide to grow a crop. C. The crop will produce natural herbicides that can pollute surface runoff. D. The crop will produce food that is less nutritious than that of traditional crops.

Which of the following are potential risk associated with horizontal gene transfer and genetically modified plants? Multiple Choice Harmful effects to plants due to the building of antibiotic resistance Harmful effects to the human body by potentially having allergic reactions to GMOs Harmful effect due to the hybridization between GM plants and target species causing resistance to herbicides Harmful effects to the human body due to GMOs exposing humans to carcinogens and potentially cancer Harmful effects to plants due to loss of nutrition in GM plants

Eutrophication is the result of sewage pollution and fertilizer runoff c. Eutrophication can eventually result in the conversion of a wetland into dry land. d. Eutrophication is a natural process that can be accelerated by human activities.
