Are GMO’s are No or Go? There is much controversy over whether or not GMO’s‚ or genetically modified organisms‚ benefit us and should be allowed‚ or if they are more harmful and should be banned. Genetically modified foods are beneficial because they save money‚ have greater resistance to pests and viruses‚ and they can hold more nutrition than regular foods. One of the crops that have most widely been genetically modified is corn. Biologists can inject genes in the corn that make the corn resistant

Olivia Garvey Professor Elgren Society and the Environment April 22‚ 2014 Genetically Modified Organisms—Harmful or Beneficial? Genetic engineering in agricultural crops serves as an exciting route in future possibilities of food production. Several benefits result from this technology‚ where genetically modifying crops has the capacity to improve genes that provide better resistance to stress—whether it be resistance to pests‚ severe weather such as frost or drought‚ disease‚ or from chemical

Sometime in the near future I plan on being a parent myself. With today’s food selection though I will be watching and picking carefully through the many types of foods I decide to feed my children because of the existence of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in our everyday foods. Coming up in the world this is not a very broad topic because of its lack of research revealed to the public. GMOs is a very large income source for food companies and even our very own government. I have been researching

While GMOs may be cheaper in price‚ the real cost comes in the form of consequences to the environment and human health. While many countries and even individual states within the U.S. have acknowledged their danger‚ the country as a whole has yet to place any restrictions on GMOs. Genetically modified organisms contribute to a variety of health-related

NTRODUCTION Often in the study of microbiology‚ the need to identify an unknown microbe may arise. This aids in the recognition of which microbes are harmful or pathogenic as well as those that may be beneficial to us in some way. This report will detail how a similar project was performed in order to identify two unknown micobes using the techniques that were learnt during the course of the semester. We embarked on the project with the knowledge that we would have to identify a Gram(+) as well

Having the ability to collect and identify unknown microorganisms is vital in health and medicine. This capability is important for a variety of reasons‚ such as knowing the causative agent of disease‚ knowing if the microorganism obtains any beneficial properties and knowing the correct microorganism to use to create a successful antibiotic. Implementing the experimental methods learned thus far in the microbiology laboratory allowed an unknown bacterium to be identified as a result of this study
