Disrupting Ecosystems Lots of scientist agree that creating new species can completely change or destroy an ecosystem and that is what several branches of biotechnology are about. Creating a new can be good like a plant that produces more food but that plant could have negative consequences for the plants around it, by attracting new kinds of bugs maybe. | Mutant species In biotechnology lots of scientists are working to produce more effective and practical species. There is always the possibility that one of these species could get out of control and do some terrible harm to the world. |
