What could be the possible harm of using antibiotic resistant gene as a selectable marker in plasmid, used for gene transfer in production of $GM$ food?
$(A)$ $GM$ food contains the enzyme produced by the antibiotic resistance gene that was used during gene tranfer in genetic engineering. This could cause allergies since it is a foreign protein.
$(B)$ The bacteria present in the alimentary canal of the humans could take up the antibiotic resistance gene present in $GM$ food.
$(C)$ The bacteria in the human alimentary canal would then become resistant to the concerned antibiotic.
$(D)$ The transgene may be transferred through pollen to their wild relatives and make weeds more persistant
and damaging.
