Genetic Engineering in Agriculture
- 2. Go to: HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering" "Agriculture" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering#Agriculture
- 3. List the two requisites that describe that an organism has been genetically modified.
- 7. Go to and explore: http://usbiotechreg.nbii.gov/faqall.html
- 8. Are genetically engineered agricultural products regulated?; If so, by whom and using what standards? Has any new legislation been implemented for genetically engineered products?
- 10. Read the letter at: http://www.ofek.com/roomtogrow/writings/gmos.html
- 11. Examine briefly for the main idea: http://www.holisticmanagement.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=8
- 12. And, return to: http://www.gmwatch.org/gm-crops-research-documenting-the-limitations-risks-and-alternatives and scroll down to alternatives.
- 13. Choose one of the strategies listed at the gmwatch.org link, (or come up with one of your own); Use two real-world examples of how you could apply your chosen strategy.
- 14. Genetic Engineering Webquest Answer Key

- 19. 3.a. Answers will vary along the lines of tolerances to chemicals, insects, diseases, etc.
- 20. 3.b. Individual answers will vary and can then be shared between students for a broader example.
- 21. 3.c. Soy, cotton, and corn will be the most common answers, though others will be accepted.
- 22. 4. Individual answers will vary based upon the large mass of proponents and students’ individual interpretations of proponents’ motives. Discussion may follow.

Laws enacted previous to the advent of GE agriculture, such as, Plant Protection Act (PPA), the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). No new legislation has been implemented for genetically engineered products.
- 27. 9.a. Individual answers will vary and be points of class discussion.
- 29. Individual answers will vary based on the students’ selected alternative strategy and can be used as a foundation for research project topics to deepen the students’ understanding.
