This document discusses genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and provides arguments for and against them. It defines GMOs as organisms with altered genetic material achieved through techniques like recombinant DNA that combines DNA from different sources. The advantages listed are increased crop yields and animal growth, but disadvantages include decreased genetic diversity, loss of local farmers, potential environmental impacts, and health concerns. The document then presents anti-GMO arguments focusing on risks to humans and the environment from GMOs and moral issues with genetic engineering.
2. Definition: Is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Subtitle: These Techniques, generally known as recombianant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources,which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferredinto an organism, giving it modified or novel genes. Transgenic organisms, a subset of GMO’s, are organisms which have inserted DNA that originated in a different species.
4. Let us know what are the advantages and Disadvantages of Genetically Modified Organisms
5. Advantages of GMO Genetically engineered organisms such as crops are given traits such as bigger seeds or better resistance to pests. This helps farmer able to produce more crops, which inturn helps feed more people. With animals,they might give it genes to grow fatter or produce more milk.
6. Disadvantages of GMO Decrease in genetic diversity Farm market control Food market control Poisoning/ Toxification of neighboring crops Loss of local farmers Starvation of Local populations Exploitation The disturbance of ecological balance
10. A genetically modified organisms are harmful and unsafe … …GMO are incredibly dangerous to both HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT! We need to stop Monsanto and the other devil companies. …Genetic engineering borderlines on many moral issues, particularly involving religion, which questions whether man has the right to manipulate the laws and course of nature. …Nature is an extremely complex inter-related chain consisting of many species linked in the food chain. Some scientists believe that introducing genetically modified genes may have an irreversible effect with consequences yet unknown. …it brings different chemical that can cause ill especially to human. …even it can easily brought us foods it is not 100% secure that we can avoid into harm on health.
11. Based on my reserch,it is harmful to other organisms,and instead of using genetically modified medicines we can used herbal plants….
12. …and an natural…There are different kinds of genetically modified organisms and we need to avoid cross contamination between GM and other organisms.
