Question

according to the world resource institute, biodiversity is the variety of the worlds organisms, including their genetic diversity. in a world of genetically modified (gm) crops, agriculture is greatly reducing the genetic diversity of the plants on earth. by ignoring genetic diversity, while we develop gm products, we run several risks that include all but one listed here. a reduced biodiversity of important food crops. b the extinction of many native or indigenous crops. c a disease or pest emerging that will wipe out the gmos. d increase production while reducing environmental impacts.

Explanation:

The question asks for the risk NOT associated with reduced genetic diversity from GM crops. Reduced biodiversity (A), extinction of native crops (B), and vulnerability to diseases/pests (C) are risks. Increasing production with lower environmental impact (D) is a benefit, not a risk.

Answer:

D. increase production while reducing environmental impacts
