Which of the following is a valid concern about the impact of biotechnology on biodiversity?

Biotechnology will result in depletion of wild populations because high numbers of organisms will be collected for research.
If humans buy only fish produced on aquaculture farms, the fish populations in the wild will decrease.
Genetically engineered organisms, being genetically similar, will all be vulnerable to the same diseases.
Fish that have been genetically modified will not be able to breed, and species will go extinct.

When we say biotechnology, this is the taking advantage of the natural resources for the purpose of industrialization and modernization. In this case, a valid concern regarding the impact of biotechnology on biodiversity is the first statement: "Biotechnology will result in depletion of wild populations because high numbers of organisms will be collected for research." Hope this helps.
