reproduce. i heir offspring will innert the trait
that makes them resistant to the herbicide.
over time, this leads to an increase in the
population of herbicide - resistant weeds.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering can lead to the development of herbicide - resistant weeds. When crops are genetically engineered to be resistant to a particular herbicide, weeds that also develop resistance (either naturally or through gene - flow) can survive the herbicide application. Over time, these resistant weeds can reproduce and their population can increase. This reduces the effectiveness of the herbicide (a type of pesticide in this context) as it no longer controls the weed population effectively. Edible vaccines, drought and salinity tolerance, and more pharmaceuticals are generally considered advantages. Edible vaccines can make vaccination more accessible, drought and salinity tolerance can help in agriculture in harsh environments, and more pharmaceuticals can lead to better medical treatments.

Answer:

reduced effectiveness of pesticides
