B) Disadvantages. Give rise to 'super weeds'. 'Super weeds' dominate the fields and affect main crops. Genes from the genetically modified food could be transferred to the pests which can make them become resistant to the pesticides and the pesticides become useless. Geneticly modified corn pollen has affected the Monarch butterfly caterpillars horrifyingly. It harms the Monarch larva and brought the Monarch butterfly population down.
Advantages. Crops - Enhanced taste and quality. Animals - Increased resistance, productivity, hardiness, and feed efficiency. Environment - "Friendly" bioherbicides and bioinsecticides. Society - Increased food security for growing populations. Can be modified to give better nutrition (a gene added to produce vitamins that developing countries need, Vit C, D, etc).
