However since the 1980s’ scientist have been breaking biological boundaries with a technology called genetic modification. Genetic modification creates genetically modified organisms (GMO)

As a child my aunt Nicole Jager would always be baking some sort of sugary foods for my other cousins and I. Children will never care what they ingest as long as whatever it is they are consuming with their mouth taste great. Going along with this children do not monitor their own health or even their own personal hygiene. Growing up I know my

The Harmful Effects of Genetically Modified Organisms Genetic Engineering has been around since the 1970’s‚ but the process has become more complicated and ambiguous over time. A genetically modified organism‚ or GMO‚ is a plant‚ animal‚ or microorganism that has been produced to overcome any natural restrictions (Happiness). It encompasses eradicating the DNA‚ manipulating it‚ and then reinserting it into the original or alternative organism (Executive). Although GMO’s have some benefits‚ their

together is done by the researchers of a certain area of study employing genetic engineering to take certain genes from a source organism and put them into another plant or animal. An example of genetic engineering is when a scientist takes a Bacillus Thuringiensis organism‚ a commonly occurring soil bacteria‚ and use enzymes to remove from it the Bt gene. The Bt gene produces a protein that turns toxic in the digestive tract of caterpillars. The Bt gene is then spliced and then incorporated into the

Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae. It is known by various names‚ such as red gram and cognomen (English)‚ tur and arhar (Hindi)‚ it is also known by more than 350 dialect names‚ and is grown primarily as a food crop. Since its domestication in India at least 3‚500 years ago‚ its seeds became a common food grain in Asia‚ Africa and Latin America. The crop ranks fourth in importance as edible legume in the world. It is the second most important pulse

Bt Brinjal is a transgenic brinjal created by inserting a gene cry1Ac from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis into Brinjal. This is said to give the Brinjal plant resistance against lepidopteran insects like the Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer Leucinodes orbonalis and Fruit Borer Helicoverpa armigera. What is the controversy about? Bt Brinjal has

Synthetic Organic Compounds Synthetic organic compounds are a relatively new discovery in the field of chemistry but have had a major impact on the world. These compounds differ from organic compounds as they are manmade. Synthetic organic compounds have been damaging people and the environment since they were created. Synthetic compounds such as chemical pesticides‚ herbicides and fertilizers have been beneficial to food production and
