Risks of genetic engineering include unpredictable effects of genome modification and the potential for herbicide resistance genes to transfer to weeds, creating 'superweeds'.
Quais são os riscos da engenharia genética? Difícil prever o efeito da modificação de um genoma. Gene resistente a herbicidas pode ser capturado por uma erva daninha e criar uma 'super erva daninha'.
