Biotechnology
Artificial Selection
pros 1:It creates the potential for added profitability.In some ways even cross-breeding plants can be a form of artificial selection because it creates a new breed or species that may not normally have existed
cons 2: The quality of life is often reduced through artificial selection.Although the result isn't seen right away,it can become problematic once the gene pool becomes too similar.
pros 2:It can be used in every industry.There aren't any plants or animals that won't benefit from the artificial selection process.By picking the plants and animals that have the most beneficial traits.
con 1:It lessens the amount of variation that exists in a gene pool.When :genetics of population group are too similar,then the result will often be a higher risk of mutation.
cloning
Pros 1:Cloning are superior breeding animals used to produce healthier offspring. Animals cloning offers great benefits to consumers,farmers,and endangered species.
Cons 1:Increase in birth size and a variety of defects in vital organs,such as the liver,brain and heart.
pros 2:Cloning offers farmers and ranches to accelerate the reproduction of their most productive livestock in order to better produce safe and healthy food.

GMO's
pros 2:crop yield.The heartiness GM crops makes it so they can grow in marginal environments.The longer shelf of some GM foods allows them to be shipped to remote areas.
cons 1: cancer.In 2013 the journal food and chemical toxicology retracted a paper that liked the herbicide roundup to roundup-tolerant GM corn to cancer and premature death in rats.
pros 1:They also engineer seeds to give GM foods stronger colors,increase their shelf life or eliminate seeds.That's why we can buy seedless grapes and watermelons.
cons 2:allergies.Food allergies are a growing problem in the U.S. according to the CDC,food allergies in children under 188 have increased from 3.4% between 1997-1999 to 5.1% between 2009-2011 :
Bioremeditaion
Pros 1:Bioremediation has been successfully used to clean up pollution including crude oil pesticides,sewage,and chlorinated solvents used in cleaning supplies
-
pros 2:also include lower cost and less disruption of the contaminated environment when compared to other clean up methods.
