उत्तर
| Sr. No. | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| 1. | Genetically modified (GM) crops have shown significant increases in yield and productivity. | There could potentially be a reduction in the genetic diversity of crops. |
| 2. | GM crops show resistance to pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. | They could potentially harm non-target organisms such as beneficial insects. |
| 3. | GM crops can tolerate abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity. | Altered gene expression in GM crops may lead to unforeseen negative effects. |
| 4. | GM crops like Golden Rice, enriched with Vitamin A, offer enhanced nutritional value. | There are potential health risks, such as allergenicity or toxicity, in genetically modified food. |
| 5. | The use of GM crops reduces agrochemical usage, thus lowering environmental pollution. | Farmers’ dependence on biotech companies for GM seeds raises socio-economic and ethical concerns. |
