Which of the following is an ethical consideration when genetically engineering crops? a- tampering with nature by mixing genes among species b- bioprocessing for forestry products c- creating new products and growing techniques d- none of the above

B-Bioprocessing for forestry products.

The correct answer is option A- "Tampering with nature by mixing genes among species".

Explanation:

The advent of genetically engineered crops had bring several benefits including crops with resistance to adverse environment conditions and diseases. However, there are ethical considerations that should be taken into consideration before genetically engineered crops are released to the market. One of the considerations is the risk of tampering with nature by mixing genes among species. Crops transfer their genes constantly in nature, therefore is important to have the genetically engineering crops in confinement to avoid that genes could be mixed among species in nature.

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
