INTRODUCTION Genetically modified foods (GM foods or biotech foods) are foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ specifically‚ genetically modified crops. GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. Other techniques by which humans modify food organisms include selective

What is GM food? Genetically modified food (GM food‚ or biotech food) refers to any food or food ingredient that is‚ or is derived from‚ an organism in which the genetic material has been modified using modern biotechnology. How does GM food be produced? Nowadays‚ scientists can identify and modify genes controlling specific characteristics using modern biotechnology. They use a variety of biotechnology‚ such as biochemical "scissors" to cut the DNA sequence at a specific place‚ and then select

Introduction: “Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering.” (Mavis 2008). As the population of the world has continued to grow‚ the supply pressure of food has become more and more significant. With the development of Genetically Modified biotechnology‚ GM Foods have been come into our daily lives. Though GM foods can help to improve the quality of life‚ there are risks to complete trust in GM foods. What’s more important‚ a part of

GM salmon‚ on the other hand‚ not only will grow faster but also should reach about twice the size of its wild cousin. The creators of the GM salmon‚ a private company called AquaBounty‚ promises to harvest the salmon before it reaches its full size‚ thus preventing "giant" versions [source: Discover Magazine].
