Gmos: Do We Make Our Food Better?

The purpose of GMOs, to enhance the traits of certain genes within plants or to implant traits from other vegetation which could strengthen the plant. Highly looked down upon by some but highly appreciated by others. I believe GMOs are a great scientific way to make our foods safer, because of the self-resisting traits that are bestowed upon them by genetics or genetic implantation. But first what does GMO mean, you’ve come so far into this paragraph enough and to not know the meaning of the acronym would straighten things out otherwise it’d seem as if I was speaking of nothing. GMOs (Genetically modified organism/s) is the way scientist find treatments for some diseases and the solution to fighting some of the harsh things we face within our foods such as parasites, fungal infections due to unsanitary vegetation, and the creepy crawlers that enjoy traveling within your food which would be insects.
It all begins with a dominant trait within a organism which could coincide with another organism which lacks or doesn’t contain such a trait.
Before we get to deep into this don’t think that you can go stab your siblings with a needle and take their good looks or whichever you desire, or maybe this may work in such a way towards the future but, the main purpose of GMOs today is for food production and understanding the human genome. Thoughts may be that how the heck can food and the way my body develops connect, well hopefully for one it should and two like plants we operate in a similar way (on a genetic level that is). The DNA within our body tells us how to operate and the specific traits we’ll gain through our parents, all of this is gained through sex cells which contain up to 23 pairs of chromosomes which define who we
are. So back into the main subject, GMOs are very influential on a lot of the things we participate, in participate let’s refer to the thought of food for now. Let’s go back to the beginning, the first person to score such a great deal in this whole genetically modified organisms situation was a man who goes by the name of George Mendel who hypothesized that traits of one organism can be shared with another by using peas! Yes, peas and by doing so he removed the reproductive parts of one pea plant and used the pollen from another and layered in on the other pea plant with the trait he so wishes desired it to have. Unlike the stricter methods we have today by implanting genes, Mendel could only get the desired traits by the operation of (YY and yy) traits which weren’t exact but were defined as dominant and recessive alleles. Now that the understanding of how the genes are inherited or probed from one plant to another a bit more clear let’s explain some more. Like plants, humans have the same set of chromosomes within sex cells as plants. Meaning the whole extraction thing can come into comparison. Through the work of GMOs we find little things such as defects which can be very fatal for some who grow up with those defective chromosomes, and that’s where the whole thing ties into human research. We use these chromosomes and identify the DNA within each set pair of 23 and look for the things that cause issues such as ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) which is involved with progressive muscle weakness. Such an issue can be found within the 23 pairs which is why today’s scientist try to find ways of how to spot this defect and how to fight it off.

So, all together the purpose of the GMOs we use today is useful because it increases the food production, self-repellant, and disease fighting traits that make it easier to grow certain foods and to live in circumstances that could cause major issue in the typical plant. Once these traits are inherited they typically become one within the plan and pass on throughout its offspring. This is all done by sharing specific traits from one plant, extracting a part of the gene and implantin
