When thinking about genetic engineering in agriculture, which type of issue has the most direct consequences?
economical issues
political issues
social issues
environmental issues

environmental issues

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a field of biotechnology which deals with the manipulation of the genome of the organisms. In this new gene is introduced into the genome of the organism also the gene is removed from the genome of the organism so as to make the organism disease free.

In agriculture the genetic engineering involves the environmental issues. This is because of the fact that the introduction of the genetically modified organism into the biologically natural ecosystem may lead to competition with the naturally occurring organisms which may result in the extinction of natural biodiversity. Also the introduction of new traits in an organism may lead to suppression of the naturally occurring traits which may lead to the changes in the organism's morphology, physiology and genome. Hence, the organism will function adversely which may not be favorable for the environment.
