A chemical company produced a genetically engineered potato called the New Leaf Superior. This plant produces a chemical
that repels insects that might eat the plant. The offspring of the plant will also produce the chemical. What is the most likely,
possible, disadvantage of growing this type of potato?
a
Resistance developed to the chemical by harmful insects.
b
Significantly decreased harvest production of the potatoes.
c
Increased bioluminescence/attraction to fireflies.
d
Decreased nutrient composition in crops.
