Communication 16 October 2012 Evolution of Genetically Modified Crops The evolution of Genetically Modified crops (GM) has‚ for the first time in history‚ presented us with a solution to the problem of global hunger. The world’s population has almost reached 7 billion people and is growing exponentially.This raises the question: how can we supply food to so many people nutritiously and affordably while protecting and preserving the environment?Genetically Modified (GM) crops are created for human or

Diversity in Living Organisms (Science) |Close X | |[pic] Classification And Evolution Classification refers to the identification‚ naming‚ and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities in their internal and external structure or evolutionary history. It determines the methods of organizing diversity of life on earth. Therefore‚ classification helps in understanding millions of life forms in detail. Who started the classification of organisms? Let us explore the history of

Modified Realism Realism in the theatre is when the actors move and talk in a manner that resembles every day life. It became important to create a complete imitation of natural life. But it became apparently that life was not so simple. Realism was adapted and changed to become modified realism. These plays tried to maintain truthfulness to life; however‚ it was artistic truth rather than photographic truth. Theatre artists took the simplification of modified realism a step further and

Throughout the Centuries‚ there have been changes to the globe and therefore to the habitat of the humans‚ animals‚ plants and all of the infinite organisms that live in our planet. However‚ even though there have been changes‚ the living organisms also have adapted to their new environment by changing their genetic composition and acquiring new characteristics

our natural resources. Welcome to the brave new world of farming‚ ¡§Transgenic Crops¡¨. Genetically modified crops or food is a very controversial subject these days‚ with statements ranging from‚ the cure to world hunger‚ to the creators of the super-weeds and pesticide resistant insects‚ to so called ¡§Frankenfoods¡¨‚ it is no wonder that the average consumer is confused‚ or unaware of genetically modified crops‚ or ¡§GM crops¡¨. Millions of acres have made the switch to transgenic crops just

Task 2 Modified sheep to produce AAT There are various genetically modified organisms that have been created; some of these organisms are genetically modified crops while others are genetically modified animals. These organisms are modified for many reasons such as improving the field of medicine or improving the shelf life of crops. This essay will describe how a sheep was modified to produce the protein AAT. The protein AAT (alpha-1-antitrypsin) has 394 amino acids and is necessary to

Hydrothermal Vents and its Organisms! A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in a planet’s surface from which geothermally heated water issues. Hydrothermal vents are commonly found near volcanically active places‚ areas where tectonic plates are moving apart‚ ocean basins‚ an hotspots Hydrothermal vents exist because the earth is both geologically active and has large amounts of water on its surface and within its crust. Common land types include hot springs‚ fumaroles and geysers. Under the sea

The range of an organism and its dispersal is limited or affected by many things in its surroundings. These things can be slightly different in their specifics from organism to organism but generally‚ for all organisms‚ these are the main restrictions to their range and dispersal (either natal or breeding). The first limiting factor to the distance they can travel from their population or parent is the resources available. One artificial barrier is habitat fragmentation by humans and their use of

This article was of interest because there are many bacteria that we encounter in our daily lives and it was informative to know that all bacteria is not bad. In fact‚ there needs to be a balance between the two and by educating yourself with the smallest amount of new information is very helpful. Humans rely on micro-organisms for a variety

Transport System of Organisms Problems faced by Multicellular Organisms: a)Big size-the total surface area to volume (TSA/V) is decreased . Rate of diffusion of substances into and out of all body cells is low. b)Cells are often located far away from the external surface of the body. How multicellular organism overcome these problem? a)Have specialized structure to increase the surface area for the exchange of respiration gases. b)Have transport system to get gases respiration in and
