3. (11 marks) Answer with reference to the following article. Genetically Modified Foods A gentetically modified (GM) food has had its DNA altered through genetic engineer rather than through conventional breeding. The first commercial GM food was Calgene's Flavr Savr tomato that resisted rotting, which the company claimed would enable it to stay on the vine longer to ripen. It was first marketed in 1994 without any special labeling. Other common GM crops include canola, cotton, rice and sugar cane....

Choose 1 of the 4 areas addressed below and discuss: the driver, one possible exposure, a related health outcome and impact : Vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can carry infective pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, which can be transferred from one host (carrier) to another. The seasonality, distribution, and prevalence of vector-borne diseases are influenced significantly by climate factors, primarily high and low temperature extremes and precipitation patterns. While climate variability and climate change both alter the transmission...

PROOFREAD PLZ Introduction Organic foods are turned out in a way that their growing process and their distributions have a lower level of harmful environmentally friendly impact as they compared to farming that used chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth. Organic foods may also include products independent of environmental pollution and are thought to health on the body’s internal environment. There are a lot of advantages that have been linked with both the making and eating of organic foods. There...
