------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable

crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation

50 HARMFUL EFFECTS OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) FOODS In a sentence This article outlines the many harmful effects of GM or genetically-modified foods (known also as genetically-engineered foods) and representng lab-created GMOs or genetically-modified organisms. By Nathan Batalion‚ ND We are confronted with what is undoubtedly the single most potent technology the world has ever known - more powerful even than atomic energy. Yet it is being released throughout our environment and

AGRIBUSINESS – GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS Summary Genetically modified crops are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers’ efficiency. The introduction of GM crops into the Indian agricultural has resulted in many changes to the sector. Such crops and seeds are genetically engineered to make them sterile and unusable for replanting‚ resulting in

Through the discovery of new methods and the upgrades in technology in today’s world‚ scientists can choose different features and adjust them to the wants of parents and many people now believe that genetically engineering a baby should be legal. I believe however‚ that a baby should be produced naturally and should

modern food science has come the dawn of genetic modification. Food scientists working in tandem with genetic engineers can now isolate the genes for specific desirable traits from an entirely unrelated organism and splice them into an organism that we have traditionally consumed—say hello to “frankenfood.” As a practice‚ genetic engineering is the careful modification of a living organism done by essentially rewriting its DNA‚ thus altering its genetic makeup “in a way that does not occur naturally”

organisms‚ DNA. In recent years scientists have been able to develop ways in which they can manipulate‚ alter‚ and transfer DNA in forms that can help improve our lives. One way in which DNA research has been used to improve our lifestyle‚ is by engineering the deoxyribonucleic acid into ways which can alter food supplies to make them bigger‚ taste better‚ resistant to pests and even make them have a greater concentration of nutrients. Of course this is great news to the human population‚ in terms
