Animals can infect and spread their genetic modifications to other animals via contact

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT a possible result of genetic engineering on organisms is:

Animals can infect and spread their genetic modifications to other animals via contact.

Genetic modifications made to organisms through genetic engineering do not get transmitted between organisms through contact in the way that infectious diseases do. Genetic modifications are typically not transferable in that manner, as they are usually inherited through reproduction or introduced through genetic engineering techniques, not through direct contact.
