This way people are able to understand the risk of GE crops. There have been many concerns about what side effects would GE crops have on the environment. One of the many concerns was the loss of genetic diversity. The mostly likely time this would be a problem would be when the GE crops would sexual hybridization with other relative plants of the GE crops. The worst possible outcome would be that the relative crops of plants of the GE crops would become extinct because of the GE crops that were bred with the other plants. There are two possible outcomes that would cause this. First, the whole species would become extinct, and the GE crop would take over the area. The GE crop would have a genetic assimilation (pg. 68 James Hancock). This means that the GE crops would breed with the relative plants and create a different plant. Then, it would replace the old relative plant in the environment. There has only been one case where a local population of a plant was wiped out due to GMO. It occurred at the Galapagos Islands; a form of cotton called G.hirsutum (Mexican cotton) wiped out the native cotton plant (pg. 68). These example shows some concerns about GE crops. But, these problems are fundamentally no different than conventional bred crops (pg. 69). This shows that GE crops are not the only ones that can create problems in the environmentWhen GMO are introduced into the farm the GMO does not.
