Question

which uses of biotechnology cause the biggest worries about long - term effects on the environment and human health? (select the two correct answers.) (1 point) using selective breeding to increase milk production. using gene editing tools like crispr. creating insulin for people with diabetes. crossbreeding oranges to improve flavor. making apples that do not turn brown. creating genetically modified organisms.

Explanation:

• Using gene - editing tools like CRISPR: CRISPR is a powerful gene - editing technology. There are concerns about off - target effects (unintended changes in the genome) and the potential for unforeseen ecological consequences if gene - edited organisms are released into the environment.
• Creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs): GMOs can have long - term ecological impacts such as gene flow to wild relatives (which can change the genetic makeup of wild populations), and there are also concerns about potential allergenicity or other health effects in humans that may not be immediately apparent.

Answer:

Using gene editing tools like CRISPR, Creating genetically modified organisms.
