Genetically modified organisms or as most of us know them by GMOs. These are organisms where a gene is purposely changed or added artificially to make it more appealing. Humans have been genetically enhancing anything we can. Many people are for GMOs while others are against it. An estimated 70% of all of our food supply contain at least one genetically modified organism. Therefor if you were against it there is really no way of running away from them. I think GMOs do more good then harm. Selective

representatives will then be asked to randomly select a piece of paper from a container. Written on the pieces of paper are words that they must either act out or draw (using the whiteboard & marker); the goal of each group is to successfully identify this unknown word within the allotted time (i.e. one minute). ● The group with the most number of points (i.e. correct answers) wins the game. (optional: winners will be given a small prize.) Learning Points: ● Acting out or coming up with images that serve

Webster’s definition of “GMO” states “A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.” The simple version of that definition is basically that people‚ for whatever reason‚ decided to modify crops or organisms to fit certain qualifications and characteristics of their choosing. The gene introduced into the organism is exaggerated to fit the desire of the creator. For example

Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically modified Organisms (GMOs) has become a popular topic nationwide. The argument of whether it is ethical to use biotechnology to develop crops has been debated back and forth. However‚ GMOs have been proven time and time again that they can increase food production‚ lower costs‚ and decrease damage on the environment. The increased use of pesticides and fertilizers on plants over the years have made a big impact on the environment. These harmful chemicals

A GMO is a “genetically modified organism: an organism or microorganism whose genetic material has been altered by means of genetic engineering‚” (Dictionary.com‚ web). There is nothing wrong with GMO’s‚ they simply allow for better taste‚ better quality‚ and bigger proportions in our food. In

Examples of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)e’ Many of our common crops‚ such as corn‚ canola‚ potatoes‚ tomatoes‚ squash‚ and soybeans‚ are genetically modified. The majority of these crops were herbicide-resistant as well as insect-resistant‚ while the others may contain increased nutrients such as vitamins‚ produce yield earlier‚ or are able to survive weather extremes. Genetically modified tomatoes were introduced to the market in 1994‚ becoming the first commercially grown transgenic crop

Genetically Modified Organism is the purpose to improve or correction of defects‚ by changing one’s genetic make up and adjusting the DNA ("Animal Biotechnology | Bioscience Topics | About Bioscience"‚ 2006). This type of technology has been experimented on what is called the Enviropig‚ invented which manupilates the genes to help produce less phosphorus in its manure‚ this is more efficiently than conventional Yorkshire pigs. The feces from the Yorkshire pigs were discovered that it contained large

Are GMO’s the Future of Food? To some‚ “Genetically Modified” is synonymous with “dangerous” and “unnatural” to others Genetically Modified Organisms can mean the difference between eating or starving‚ and can mean saving thousands of dollars in crop losses. GMO’s can help farmers grow more food on less land and can help farmers in the developing world grow a sustenance crop to support and feed their families. Those who view GMO’s as a danger to themselves and their children usually don’t fully
