Genetically Modified Food is a blessing. GM food is crops modified to enhance desired traits‚ and promises to meet the demand for food for this booming population in the near future. GM food allows modified crops to be pest-resistant‚ herbicide-tolerant‚ disease-resistant‚ cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant or salinity-tolerant. Pest-resistant crops prevent farmers from incurring huge losses from insect pests. This trait also allows non-usage of chemical pesticides‚ which are typically used in

GM food refers to any food‚ that is derived from an organism in which the genetic material has been modified using modern biotechnology. It is commonly use in crop plants rather than animal. With the genetic engineering‚ plants could enhance desired traits‚ such as‚ increase resistance to herbicides and improve nutritional content. GM crops focus on improving the favorable characteristics and removing or reducing the

Organization‚ genetically modified food (GM food) are food derived from organisms whose genetic material has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally‚ such as through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. GM food‚ which stem mostly from plants‚ are genetically modified to develop a better yield by turning it resistant to plant diseases or tolerant to herbicides. The discovery of GM food has influenced the society in different ways and GM foods has become a game changer. This

Activity 5.2a Geometric Constraints Introduction A CAD model can quickly display an engineer’s ideas in a realistic way. And those models can be used to generate technical drawings that can communicate the information necessary to make the idea a reality. In order to generate a 3D model‚ designs must start with sketches that are generated within the CAD program. These computer generated sketches will appear resemble hand drawn sketches in geometry (the combination of points‚ lines‚ and shapes)
