GloFish: More than just glowing. What is a GloFish? GloFish is a genetically modified animal‚ a fluorescent zebra fish. It is made and then advertised by Yorktown technologies. It is a genetically modified organism (or GMO). The fish got the fluorescence from a red fluorescent protein from a sea anemone under the myosin light peptide 2 genes of zebra fish. The new green colored fish got is color from the extracted Green Fluorescent Protein that is taken from one jellyfish species called Aequorea

these implications‚ GMO’s have been banned in many countries such as Australia‚ Europe‚ and Germany (Meyer‚ 2010). The use of genetically modified organisms are not banned in North American but should be because of the potential health risks‚ the negative effect on the environment‚ and its contribution to the extinction of pollinating insects. GMOs are genetically modified organisms that are formulated from more than one organism (Suzuki‚ 2013). Companies use GMOs to exploit the natural genome

Driving down the country roads during the summers before genetically modified crops were invented‚ a person could see forever across the corn fields. In 1994‚ many scientists and farmers worked together to breed stronger yielding crops (Barboza). This is also the year that genetically modified crops were developed and could be sold and planted. Ever since that first pallet of genetically modified corn was sold‚ drivers have had to stop at every gravel road intersection‚ build more grain storage‚

“Using named examples‚ assess the effectiveness of technological leapfrogging in contributing to the development process.” Technology leapfrogging is a term used to describe the bypassing of technological stages that other countries have gone through. Technology leapfrogging is bypassing some of the processes of growing of human capabilities and fixed investment in order to narrow down the gaps in productivity and output that separate industrialised and developing countries. Leapfrogging involves

Genetically modified foods are beneficial for our society because of the nutrients that may be added to foods and the greater ability to produce these foods. While some people argue that genetic modification is still a new technology that should be researched further‚ others will agree that the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. Society today has all kinds of new technology at its fingertips and should be allowed to use this technology to enhance certain things to better the world. The
