Question

there are environmental concerns surrounding the products that have been genetically engineered for particular traits, including pharmaceuticals, crops, and enzymes that are used in industry and manufacturing processes. which is an environmental concern that affects society?
○ patented products
○ bioaccumulation
○ infertility
○ cancer

Explanation:

To determine the environmental concern affecting society, we analyze each option:

• "Patented products" relate to intellectual property, not environmental concerns.
• "Bioaccumulation" is the accumulation of substances (like from genetically engineered products) in organisms over time, impacting ecosystems and thus society (e.g., affecting food chains, human health via contaminated food).
• "Infertility" and "cancer" are health issues for individuals, not direct environmental concerns affecting society at large in the context of genetic engineering’s environmental impact.

Answer:

B. bioaccumulation
