Genetically Modified Microorganisms John A. Doe Strayer University- Morrow Campus Genetically Modified Microorganisms Genetically modified microorganisms or also known as genetically modified organisms are organisms whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favor the expression of desired physiological traits or the production of desired biological products.

Organisms that have been genetically modified include microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals.

MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals.

How many times have you eaten something without reading the ingredients label? In 1982‚ Genetically Modified Organisms were approved for human use1 and eventually mass produced to the public as FLAVR SAVR Tomato in the late 1990s.2 Many may think that GMOs will end world hunger‚ but it is killing us rather than saving us. If food companies continue to advertise GMOs as the savior of America’s hunger problems‚ the country is in for a surprise. Any food product being sold to the general public should

animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a transgene. What is the difference between traditional plant and

What if you could genetically modify your future children to have any trait. We all want our children to be healthy‚ smart and or athletic. Some want to have the most perfect child‚ but they should know that genetically modify them is almost like playing the role of God‚ and when playing the role of God things usually go wrong. First‚ we will look at the procedure of genetically modifying our children and it’s risk‚ Secondly‚ we see what problems there are. So let’s start with the procedure. The

Muslims also have problem that they can’t eat anything that contains anything from Pig. They have some issues like they can eat meat only which is Halal (permissible from the sharia perspective) and Tayyib (good quality) which these genetically modified foods not satisfying. 2.How do you feel

grow in. The nutrition gene is ejected into the plants or crops to enhance nutritional value. Some examples of bioengineered foods are tomatoes‚ potatoes‚ squash‚ corn‚ and soybens. All these foods have been genetically altered in some way. The reason for these foods to be genetically altered is to make them taste better‚ and to have more nutritional value. Scientists have created many bioengineered foods and are working on many more foods. The pros of bioengineered foods seem to back up 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 children are unaffected. The capability of gene technology to perform such diagnostics on embryos has led to the possibility of this technology being harnessed to genetically engineer children. The term

The trademarked pigs are just one of dozens of genetically engineered animals at research institutions around the world whose genes have been altered for human benefit.
