Answer 1

The correct option is D d) All of the above

Answer 74: D

Explanation: Terminator seeds - They makes crops die off after one harvest without producing offspring. This would force the farmers
to buy new seeds for each planting, which reduces their self-sufficiency and makes them dependent on major seed and chemical
companies. This causes concerns that these crops would increase cost of production.
Many GM crops contain genes which provide resistance to commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin.
