The concern that herbicide resistance genes may spread to weedy species is a common concern with genetically modified crops. This could create unintended consequences such as the creation of "superweeds" that are difficult to control.

Answer: B
 Beneficial insects may be harmed by eating pest species that have been genetically modified to produce toxins. This could have negative consequences for food webs and ecosystem health.

Answer: C
 Some scientists are concerned that genetically modified crops may have adaptive advantages that allow them to outcompete natural ecosystems. This could disrupt the balance of ecosystems and have unintended consequences.

Answer: E
 There is some concern that genetically modified plants may be less stable than traditionally bred plants and could revert back to parental genotypes. This could make it difficult to predict the long-term effects of genetically modified crops on ecosystems and human health.
