What Are The Pros And Cons Of GM Crops

How can foods be easily modified? Intro: In this essay, we will be talking about how foods can be easily modified (GM foods), how they can affect other people, and to see if it is safe to eat them. Body: As if you did not know, GM foods stands for Genetically Modified foods. That means that scientists take and copy the DNA from an organism (ie; a watermelon), and then they put it in with another organism (ie; a corn), which results the [modified] organism to be in the same colour as the copied

2014). GM products include crops and animals, such as soy, cottonseed, alfalfa, papaya, canola, and sugar beets. Throughout the years there has been arguments about the safety of consuming GM products. Some countries believe that GMOs are not safe to consume while other countries believe that they are safe to consume. More than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, have restriction or bans the production and sale of GM products

of genetically-modified (GM) salmon into the American marketplace (Big Fish). Salmon, of course, is just the brink of the biological possibilities. The possibility of the introduction of any GM foods is monumental. Man’s ability to increase the food supply guarantees major benefits; nevertheless, modifying the earth’s natural source of energy also promises detrimental consequences. What is Genetically-Modified Food (GM)? Genetically-modified foods (GM) describes crops (and most recently, animals)

What are Genetically-Modified Foods? Genetically-Modified Foods, commonly known as GMOs, are crop plants that have been created for human and animal consumption by genetic engineering techniques of biotechnology. These crop plants have been modified in a lab to create a desired trait that has been undertaken through breeding methods. Lately, there has been major controversy and disputes on if GMOs are a solution or a problem in today’s society. Now, a question for debate is, should GMOs be considered

more food. When normal crops are grown bugs can destroy them and make them uneatable. Insects can cause two major types of damage to normal crops. These two types of damage are known as direct and indirect damage. Direct is when insect eats the plant or burrows into it and indirect is when a bug transmits an infection into a crop by landing on it and spreading its diseases. Both are harmful but bioengineering the crops to withstand both of these damages can save a lot of crops and produce a lot more

Genetically modified crops; what are they? Crops that have been scientifically altered, to create a better species. Though crops can sometimes breed through cross-breeding, with genetically modified crops this is not the case. These crops have had pieces of DNA inserted into them to create a superior race. The reason we produce these superior species of crops are because they are often stronger, resistant to herbicides, quicker growing, and therefore cheaper to produce. That way, the community as

GMO can bring lots of benefits to human lives and has solved some problem of health, such as lack of nutrients and also hunger. GM foods can be engineered to have one specific nutrient, such as vitamin A. Nutrients are extremely important to humans’ body health because these components in food allow our bodies to move and grow. Golden Rice is a great example of GM food. It is a form of yellow-colored rice that is produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene in the edible

created with the intention to improve overall quality of different foods and health of the people in world. Some people think that it is wrong to change foods from how they used to be while others think it's an amazing idea. Lets first start out with what is a GMO and if they are beneficial or bad for human and animal health. GMOS are genetically modified organisms, in this case we are talking about food but it can also be used for animals. How they do it is just to change the genetic makeup of that

and reproduce faster, these modifications allow for the plants and crops to have new varieties of plants and crops that will be formed gradually. These modifications allow the plants to be more resistant to viruses, pesticides, and insects that can ruin the lifespan of the plants and crops and harm the consumers who consume them. There is a controversial issue with Genetically Modified Organisms and Foods as well as the pros and cons for it. Ethical, moral, and social issues are also some issues that

going to take a bite into what GMO’s are and why then are used B. Then, we will chew through the cons of GMO’s and C. Lastly, swallow some facts on a newly passed bill regarding GMOs Body I. Main point: Now, lets talk about what exactly Genetically Modified Organisms are and why we use them in our world today. A. Genetically modified organisms are those whose genetic makeup has been altered “in a way that does not occur spontaneously.” GMOs are also referred to as GM foods. 1. (Dizon, Costa, Rock
