GMOs Notes
Genetically Modified Food (GMOs) are the term genetically refers to genes. DNA, which
is a set of instructions for how cells grow and develop, is used to construct genes. The second
option is Modified. This suggests that a modification or alteration has been done. Finally, there is
the term Organism. Many people associate genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with
agriculture. However, the term "organism" refers to all living things, including bacteria and
fungi.
GMOs are important because it’s a solution to children who have dietary deficiency. It
takes 8-12 years for a better plant to be produce when it’s not modified, but when food is
modified, the production is faster because if there’s a gene that is related to the plant then it can
be transfer straight into the genetic code of another species without crossing cycles. GMOs are
also helpful when it comes to having offspring because people, or plants receive traits that they
want their descendants to have. GMOs allowed different species to transfer its genes. GMOs
aren’t important because it creates health problems – as in shifting genes between different
species. It’s not important because it has bad influence on the community. Their pollen might
blow into fields of ordinary crops and fertilize them.
GMOs are controversial because it’s harmful to the environment. Though scientists have
studied that GM food are needed to provide nourishment to cultivate countries and nothing
related to health risks is shown. Some people argue that it doesn’t matter if the food is modified
