got it on the test!

Answer 2

A decrease in crop diversity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since only some crop plants have been genetically modified, the non-modified varieties of the crop will still be sensitive to the weed killers and will be wiped out after their application. This represents a loss in the crop diversity which is very bad because some of those lost crops may have resistance to disease or have a higher yield.
