Assertion: GM crops can affect human health by causing allergic reactions.
Reason: Transgenes in commercial crops can endanger native species e.g., the Bt toxin gene expressed in pollen might endanger pollinators like honeybees.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
B.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
The transgenic food may cause toxicity or produce allergies. The enzyme produced by the antibiotic resistance can cause allergies, because it is a foreign protein. The introduction of transgenic plants into agriculture is creating some issues. One of them is the potential risk of transgene in commercial crops endangering native or nontarget species. For example the gene for Bt toxin expressed in pollen might endanger pollinators like honeybees.
