My Script: Genetically Modified Foods‚ also known as GM foods‚ is the process of using biotechnology techniques to create specific changes into the foods DNA‚ using methods of genetic engineering. These techniques can allow our food to be modified. This then allows us to make our crops resistant to pests and disease‚ which benefits farmers‚ so they don’t have to spend excessive amounts of money on insecticides‚ it also enables the foods to have the capability to adapt to any environmental conditions

and works towards solving such problems is biotechnology which “harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet” (Bio). The experiences that have shaped my interests range from online experiments to hands-on activities. The first time I heard about biotechnology was in my 8th grade Earth and Environmental Science class. My teacher told the class about how biotechnology was used to create bacteria that ate oil

Marine Biologist The field of marine biology -- the study of marine organisms‚ their behaviors‚ and their interactions with the environment -- is considered one of the most all-encompassing fields of oceanography. This field requires the ability to understand marine organisms and their behaviors. A marine biologist must have a basic understanding of other aspects or views of oceanography‚ such as chemical oceanography‚ physical oceanography‚ and geological oceanography. Therefore‚ marine biologists

they are organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another‚ including nonrelated species. Advancements in biotechnology allow for genetic modification to be used in both plants and animals. Essentially‚ genetic modification allows one to express the desired traits in an organism quickly and efficiently. Also‚ GM products offer traits such as enhanced nutritional

The growing science of biotechnology Biotechnology is allowing genetics to combine with genes from many different species and coming up with innovative versions of old-style foods. Varieties of tomatoes‚ soya and potato‚ cucumber and maize have already gone through the blade of biotechnology. Genetic engineering is when scientists remove a specific gene for a good characteristic‚ from the DNA of an organism and place it into another organism. Modern

Agriculture & technology working model Modern technology is already being used in agriculture. The best example is the use of gene technology or what’s popularly known as agricultural biotechnology in developing drought and herbicide resistant crops. Through genetic engineering‚ scientists have been able to introduce traits into existing genes to make crops resistant to drought and herbicides. One good example is the use of Bacillus Thuringiensis‚ commonly known as Bt. Bacillus Thuringiensis‚ is
