A possible negative outcome of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is accidental damage to genes of wild organisms. This can happen when genetically modified crops cross-pollinate with wild relatives or non-GMO crops, potentially leading to unintended ecological consequences. These interactions may disrupt local ecosystems, harm biodiversity, and affect the genetic integrity of wild species. This concern highlights the importance of careful management and monitoring of GMOs to mitigate environmental risks.
