BRAINLIEST A corn plant has been genetically engineered. It produces pollen that can make its own toxins. These toxins protect t
he corn plant against pests. What is a likely impact on the environment around the corn plant? A. Bird and butterfly populations around the area may increase. B.The concentration of pesticides in a nearby lake would increase. C. Newer strains of pesticide-resistant pests may develop. D. The carbon dioxide level would increase in the area.
It's definitely not A. since the toxins would kill butterflies. B. doesn't seem relevant. C. doesn't make sense because the toxins in the pollen are to protect the corn not to make new strains. So, the answer would be D. The carbon dioxide level would increase in the area. Hope this helps!
