chemicals. If such goals could be achieved, it would be most 67. But some
have raised concerns about genetically engineered crops.

be crossed with a different kind of rose, but a rose will never cross with
a potato. Genetic engineering, 69 usually involves taking genes from one
species and inserting them into another 70 to transfer a desired
characteristic. This could mean, for example, selecting a gene which leads
to the production of a chemical with anti-freeze 71 from an artic fish,
and inserting it into a potato or strawberry to make it frost-resistant.
72, then, biotechnology allows humans to 73 the genetic walls that
separate species.
Like the green revolution, 74 some call the gene revolution contributes to
the problem of genetic uniformity---some say even more so 75
geneticists can employ techniques such as cloning and 76 culture(培养),
processes that produce perfectly 77 copies. Concerns about the erosion
of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however,
raise new 78, such as the effects that they may have on us and the
environment. “We are flying blindly into a new 79 of agricultural
biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the
potential 80,” said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.
