Nowadays a problem of genetically modified food is widespread all over the world. People worry about their health and the health of descendants‚ because GM is considered to be very harmful. Along with disadvantages there are advantages‚ too. Like humans‚ all organisms have genetic material. When scientists alter genetic material‚ or DNA‚ it’s called genetic modification (GM). Genetically modifying foods or food crops can enhance taste and quality‚ increase nutrients or improve resistance to pests

genetically modified babies were created in 2001. Out of the 30 babies that were born‚ 15 were found to have DNA from three different adults. Although having DNA from more than two sources can occur naturally‚ these 15 babies were created with a method called “cytoplasmic transfer‚” which had been banned by the FDA . The method was initially developed to save female eggs that had been difficult to fertilize and was showing much promise—until tracking the growth of the genetically modified babies revealed

also carries the prospect of being harnessed to alter physical appearances and even improve mental faculties like memory and intelligence. Though this does bring to light many ethical concerns‚ the possibility of a future inhabited by genetically modified humans is becoming increasingly likely. The prospect of GM humans stems from a current form of gene technology named; Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis or PGD. This enables couples at risk of transmitting a genetic disease to ensure their future

Introduction: Computer Generations History of development of computers down the years is referred as Computer Generations. A generation refers to research and development done to improve the performance of computers. It also refers to the new technical breakthroughs and advancements in computers. A generation has significantly decreased the size of computers and increased the performance. With the increase in speed‚ power and memory and decrease in size‚ each generation has brought down the cost

Genetic engineering in agricultural crops serves as an exciting route in future possibilities of food production. Several benefits result from this technology‚ where genetically modifying crops has the capacity to improve genes that provide better resistance to stress—whether it be resistance to pests‚ severe weather such as frost or drought‚ disease‚ or from chemical

What are bioengineered foods? Bioengineered foods are plants created for human and animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. Bioengineered foods have been enhanced in a laboratory to desire traits like‚ resistance to herbicides and improved nutrition. By bioengineering foods you can create plants with the desired trait very rapidly. The advantages of bioengineered foods is that they are pest resistances‚ disease resistance‚ able to with stand cold weather‚ drought tolerance
