(d) The transgenic food, containing enzyme produced by antibiotic resistance gene, can cause allergies because it is a foregin protein. The bacteria present in alimentary cancal can take up antibiotic resistance gene and become resistant to that antibiotic. Transgenes can endanger native species if Bt toxin is expressed in pollens which are transported by pollinator honey bees. GM crop production causes changes in natural environment which may be harmful for all organisms.
