deep-rooted GM foods are in our lives and how reliant we are on them. It has been 15 years since the first genetically modified crop was sold on the market‚ and endless controversy has been aroused ever since. Certainly this technology of modifying the genes of an existing crop with genetic engineering was created and introduced because of a good intention‚ which is to raise overall crop yield; nonetheless‚ its drawbacks are seemingly non-negligible. Origin of Research Though the first GM crop

GUPTA CHESHTA ARORA PRACHI SINGH WHAT ARE GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS? Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally‚ e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. Currently available GM foods stem mostly from plants‚ but in the future foods derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have

Firstly‚ letʼs have a look at safety of GM foods. GM foods have more allergens than foods which are grown by traditional methods. A person‚ because of not knowing which food has allergens‚ may most probably get sick. In 2003‚ a group of Russian scientists reported the fact that patients with food allergy had increased three times because of the GM foods. In addition to allergens‚ transfer of antibiotic resistance genes is another problematic issue. When GM food is being produced‚ antibiotic resistance

GM (Gentically Modified) or GE (Genetically Engineered) foods are plant crops created for the consumption of humans and animals using the latest genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modifying food involves altering a plant ’s genes‚ either by removing a gene or adding a gene from another living being. There has been high controversy around introducing GM foods as a solution to the world food crisis. Are GM foods harmful of helpful? Many concerns have risen around GM foods‚ including economical

Genetically modified (GM) crops refer to the extraction of genes from one foreign sources such as other plants or animals. World food crisis also refers to the people who are unable to get food for their own consumption. The GM crops will solve the current world food crisis as they are resistant to key diseases as pest and is able to withstand greater somatic extremes and poorer soils. GM crops are also able to stay fresh longer. An example is the pest-resistant corn the was created by inserting
