A downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.

All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.

Hope that helped!

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. co-evolution

Explanation:

When two or more species evolution is influenced by each other and are interdependent than this type of evolution is known as co-evolution. There are several examples of co-evolution like predator-prey co-evolution, flowering plants and pollinators evolution, etc.

The predator-prey evolution is famous in which there is selective pressure on prey to evolve to avoid getting hunted and the same pressure is on predator to evolve with prey so that they can get their food and survive. Therefore the correct answer is co-evolution.
