In most cases they splice in a single gene with well studied properties to change an organism's phenotype in a highly predictable and safe way. There's no evidence of harm from GMO crops and no reason to be paranoid.
a single 'piece of genetic material' introduced into the nucleus of an organism that may not even be from the same kingdom. yes, well studied.
no, not well studied. they study it well enough to assure profitability and minimize any fallout from a failure. thats it and thats as far as the studies go.
go google how they 'accidentally' released glysophate-immune genetic material into the wild. thats one single example
