As you may know, using conventional agricultural methods of chemical pest control, some populations of insects and weeds will become resistant or tolerant of chemicals merely through the process of natural selection. As we discussed in class, researchers have developed genetically modified crops to deal with these pests. Do some research to determine how widespread the occurrences of Bt-resistant insects and herbicide-tolerant weeds are? How can these problems be addressed and prevented? Include the citation of at least one outside reference to support your response.

Which of the following is a scientific concern related to creating genetically modified crops? Herbicide resistance may spread to weedy species. Beneficial insects may be harmed by eating pest species. The monetary costs of growing genetically modified plants are significantly greater than those of traditional breeding techniques. Their adaptive advantages would allow them to overpower natural ecosystems.
