Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple positive aspects of GMO, but it has many drawbacks as well. Genetically modified foods can become more resistant to disease, pests, and even natural disasters(floods, drought, etc.)

The pros of GMO crops are that they may contain more nutrients, are grown with fewer pesticides, and are usually cheaper than their non-GMO counterparts. The cons of GMO foods are that they may cause allergic reactions because of their altered DNA and they may increase antibiotic resistance.

Today, those who directly see the most benefits from GMOs are farmers and agricultural companies. ... GMOs are also used to produce many medicines and vaccines that help treat or prevent diseases. Before GMOs, many common medicines had to be extracted from blood donors, animal parts, or even cadavers.
