Genetically Modified Organisms GMOs 1 a What is the biologic

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs):

1. a) What is the biological basis of the technology or process? How does it work? b) What is the purpose of the technology or process?

c) How is the technology applied to the real world? Is it currently being used? In what capacity? d) What are the scientific unknowns or uncertainties about the topic?

2. a) Provide facts about the benefits of the topic, avoiding personal bias. b) How does it (or how could it) enhance human life?

3. a) Provide facts about the pitfalls of the topic, avoiding personal bias. b) How does it (or how could it) negatively affect human life?

4. a) What are the current attitudes in the media? b) Are there new rules or laws or changes to regulations being considered for this technology in the United States? If there are none in the works, describe the key regulatory controls on the technology now. c) Briefly describe at least two current areas of scientific research surrounding your topic. d) Explain an ethical issue surrounding your topic (e.g., human health concerns, religious objections) without bias.

5. Personal reflections: In one slide, provide a brief summary of your perspectives on the topic. Specifically, what led you to choose this topic? Did your perspective on the topic change as you progressed through the research? Share your overall opinion regarding the topic.

Solution

With the help of Genetically engineering GMO are formed. In this process the desired traits are prepared in lab condition or through other organisms and are the incorporated in DNA of other plants or Italian for the benefit of humans.

Purpose of GMOs-

In agriculture, increased yield in crop production, reduced costs for food and drug production, reduced need for pesticides,enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security and medical benefits to the world\'s growing population.

There are some examples of GMOs which shows how it works-

1. Insects resistance plants are made in corn through insecticidal protein Cry1Ab from Bacillus thuriginesis.

2. Vitamin enrichment in rice. This ririce is commonly known as Golden rice. 3 genes are responsible for manufacture for beta carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A, in the endosperm of rice prevent it\'s removal ( from husk) during milling.

3. Oral vaccines in Maize-Fusion protein ( F) from Newcastle disease virus expressed in corn seeds induced an immune response when fed to chicken.

These are applied and real world and is found beneficial for humans.

Insulin is also introduced by GMO to human.

But there are some examples are also harmful for human race. It doesn\'t effect directly but primarily products enter in human body. there are some common negative effects of GMO -

Food allergy

Increased toxicity

Less nutritional values

Antibiotic resistance
