(1) Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs) are currently being developed for agriculture, Currently commercialized GM crops in the U.S. include soy (94% ) cotton (90% ) cancla (90% ) sugar beets (95% ) corn (88% ) and Hawailan papaya (more than 50% The use of GMO crops can reduce agricultural costs to farmers and provide greater cropyjelds, possibly helping with issues of food shortages. Although this sounds great, there is still a lot of controversy around the use of GMOs. Which of these is a valid argument on why we should not use GMOs in our food? A GMOs do not have any nutritional value B GMOcrops are always more expensive to buy C GMOcrops are invasive and take over the habitat of local crops D there is not enough research on long-term effects of eating GMOs

The correct answer is D. There is not enough research on the long-term effects of eating GMOs.<br /><br />Explanation:<br />A. GMOs do have nutritional value, as they are genetically modified to enhance certain nutrients or traits.<br />B. GMO crops are not always more expensive to buy. In fact, they can be cost-effective for farmers due to increased crop yields and reduced need for pesticides.<br />C. GMO crops are not necessarily invasive and do not take over the habitat of local crops. They are designed to be safe and compatible with other crops.<br />D. There is ongoing debate and research about the long-term effects of consuming GMOs. Some argue that there is not enough scientific evidence to fully understand the potential risks and benefits, which makes it a valid concern.
