GMO stands for genetically modified organism. The term is generally used for food that has had its genes changed using biotechnology. Using genetic modification‚ scientists are able to produce new varieties of plants with certain qualities‚ such as being more resistant to viruses or pesticides. Are GMOs good or bad for us? I thinks GMOs good us and maybe people thinks GMOs bad because that pointed out that transferring a gene from an allergenic food crop‚ such as peanuts‚ could make the GMO food

What are GMOs? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism which means that an organism which was genetically modified with genes. Gmos are made when you take one gene from a animal and transfer that gene to another animal to make the animal better in its environment. Gmos are used in food mostly processed foods because the soy beans in processed foods are modified. GMOs are used in foods because it can make the plant bigger such as a tomato when it is not modified it is small but when it is modified

Genetic modification (GM) is the process by which DNA make up is perfected and altered. This procedure is completed by combining genes from other organisms. It may even involve the combining of plant genes with animal genes. The results of this process are also known as GMOs‚ genetically modified organisms. In recent discovery‚ geneticists have learned to genetically modify many
