write four paragraphs about GMOs( genetically modified organisms)
GMO are genetically modified organisms that are made by genetic engineering techniques.These organisms undergo change in their genetic make due to the artificial insertion of genes from unrelated organisms such as extracted from either bacteria,virus ,insects ,plant or animal.The GMOs are also known as transgenic organisms.
The GMOs can be produced by many ways: by physical insertion of extracted DNA into the nucleus of the host with the help of a small syringe , through electroporation methods,with the help of gene gun ,by attaching genes directly to a virus and by Agrobacterium mediated gene transformation techiques.
The advantages of GMOs are many:It helps in increased production of food,production of medicines that was once found difficult for production in laboratory in huge quantities,production of genetically modified foods such as rice ,genetically modified insects such as mosquitoes that could die earlier than their life span when fed with antibiotic etc.
The disadvantages is that some GMOs are their products such as BT toxin are harmful to human,food raise through genetically modofied plants make human prone to diseases and allergies.Increased population of GMOs could decrease biodiversity.
What are genetically modified organisms (GMOs)? Plants have been genetically engineered to contain added nutrients for better human health or pesticide resistance genes to decrease the use of pesticides. Some scientists fear that GMO crops containing added foreign genes may lead to the generation of 'super weeds'. Do you think the pros of GMOs outweigh the cons?
Discuss the arguments for and against the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into Tasmania. In your answer, include the significance of GMO introduction (or ban on introduction) to the environmental, social and economic sustainability of Tasmania's agricultural industries. please keep the answers short which should be 100 words
Cloning organisms involves the use of embryos. There are ethical concerns about genetically modifying humans. GMOs can help treat human diseases. FDA testing shows no difference in the product of treated or untreated organisms. Milk from cows treated with rBGH is safe to drink Artificial selection allows for the selective breeding of animals and crop plants with desired characteristics. Humans have been eating genetically modified foods for 20 years, with no known adverse health effects. The long-term effects of GMO...
Consider the controversy around genetically modified organisms. How does industrial biotechnology fit into the discussions about GMOs in past units? Compare the two, looking at the benefits and risks of each. What are the environmental benefits of industrial biotechnology?
To govorcu n Question 1 2 pts So far, most genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants that are: any one of these things more herbicide-resistant more nutritious more pest-resistant o Question 2 2 pts Recombinant DNA technology is used to produce GMOs stem cells bacteria that can make human insulin all of these things Analogous traits are phenotypically similar, and due to convergent evolution rather than shared ancestry. True False Question 13 2 pts There are currently four Domains in...
GMO labeling A genetically modified food is a food product developed from a different genetically modified organism (GMO) such as a crop plant, animal or microorganisms. The general principle of producing a GMO is to add novel genetic material into an organism's genome resulting in both new and useful traits. Some governments (like the entire EU, China and Japan) have emphasized risks over benefits from GM foods and require mandatory labeling and traceability, while others, such as the U.S., have...
Based on your current knowledge of GMOs and genetically modified foods, do you support their use and mass distribution both within the United States and around the world?
QUESTION 11 Which of the following is a concern over genetically modified organisms? a. viral infections b. tissue rejections Oc animal suffering O d.gene escape e. all of these are concerns over genetically modified organisms
Promoters of genetically modified organisms often make the remark that humans have been genetically modifying organisms for millennia, through artificial selection and breeding techniques. Detractors,however, argue that there is a qualitative difference between selective breeding and genetic modification, and that this difference is important enough to cause great concern. Write an essay that will compare and contrast artificial selection and genetic engineering of crops. Your thesis should either argue that genetic modification is merely an extension of an ancient process,...
What limits do you think should be placed on the production of genetically modified organisms? ted States)
