Modifying the World The world has come to a point where anything and everything can be customized; yet never could one have foreseen the customization of life forms. The term "genetically-modified organisms" (GMO’s)‚ is most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques (Whitman‚ 2000). GMO’s offer dramatic promise for some of the greatest challenges of the century‚ however‚ like all new technologies‚ they also possess

So‚ its been a long day‚ your exhausted‚ really hungry‚ and don’t think too much about what you want to eat. You just know that you will go for anything tasty that is fast and easy to make. Choosing what we we want to eat in this way should be familiar to all of us‚ its the American way: We want it and we want it now‚ and it always has to be better‚ faster‚ and last longer. Due to our forever growing population this demand only gets stronger and stronger; alas our creation of genetically modified

is also called herbicide resistance mainly to glyphosate and glufosinate ammonium introduced in soya‚ oil seed rape (canola)‚ cotton‚ maize and sugar beet (Pretty‚ J) and it is achieve through the introduction of gene from bacterium usually Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that expresses for the herbicide resistance. This allows the producer to apply any broad spectrum herbicide to the crop field to kill weeds without destroying the crop. It allows the farmer to reduce weed pressure off the crop thus getting

the reduction of the amount of inoculum or disease producing activityof a pathogen accomplished by or through one or more organisms other than man’’. Biological pest control (such as Cosmos ’Sensation White’‚ lantana‚ African marigolds‚ and Bacillus thuringiensis) are the most efficient and responsible control to maintain pesticide free crop. We also control harmful insects (pests) by introducing insects that are their natural enemies. In this way‚ pests are kept at low levels without damaging the

Summary of three articles A. GMO FACTS What are GMOs? - Genetically modified organisms are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering‚ or GE. - This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant‚ animal‚ bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. - To withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. - GMO is accompanied by

TRANSGENIC SPECIES SPEECH Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. Today‚ the topic for our debate is on whether “the benefits of transgenic species outweigh the ethical considerations.” We‚ the negative team‚ believe that this statement is false. The first affirmative speaker has tried to tell you that transgenic plant species are a revolutionary new way to produce crops with dramatically increasing yields and as a result‚ this will increase the farmlands’ productivity. However‚ this is

Also genes from non-plant organisms also can be used‚ one of most well known examples of this is the use in corn and other crops. B.t.‚ or Bacillus thuringiensis‚ is a naturally occurring bacterium that produces crystal proteins that are lethal to insect larvae. The United States accounts for nearly two-thirds of all biotechnology crops planted globally. According to the fact sheet which was produced
