The Controversy Surrounding GMOs, Papers of English Language

Estrella Mountain Community CollegeEnglish Language
Prof. Analicia Buentello Annie

The debate surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their use in food production. It covers concerns about safety, labeling, and regulation, as well as potential benefits such as increased productivity and the ability to transfer desirable traits between species. The document also explains the science behind GMOs and how they differ from traditional breeding methods.

Why GMOs are controversial
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. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are a hotly debated subject in the United
States and across the world. Genetically modified food issues refer to disagreements regarding
the usage of foods and other items obtained from genetically modified crops rather than normal
crops, as well as other applications of genetic engineering in food production. The public is
concerned about their safety and wants genetically engineered items labeled as such. Other
scientists, government officials, and organizations, including as the Food and Agricultural
Organization (FAO), are concerned that insufficient study has been conducted to classify GMOs
as safe for long-term usage. The allergenic qualities that a GMO may impart, the potential
transfer effects of antibiotic resistance (given that antibiotic resistant marker genes are utilized in
many GMOs), the development of previously undetected features, and pollen drift from
genetically modified crops are also causes for worry. It has also been remarked that the rules and
regulations regulating the biotechnology industry are out of date, incomplete, and cover far too
many entities. The principal regulatory bodies for biotechnology are the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the
Environmental Protection Agency (Keatley KL). Many people associate genetically modified

The principal regulatory bodies for biotechnology are the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (Keatley KL). Many people associate genetically modified

organisms (GMOs) with agriculture. However, the term "organism" refers to all living things, including bacteria and fungi. GMOs are live organisms whose genetic code has been altered in some way. Unlike traditional breeding, which has been practiced for millennia, which includes combining all the DNA from two distinct sources, generating a GMO is far more specific. They inject a gene or two into individual cells in a lab rather than crossing two plants in the wild. However, as previously stated, GM technology may also be employed on microbes. Bacteria, for example, have been genetically edited to generate medications that can heal diseases or vaccinations that may prevent them. Insulin, which is used to treat diabetes, is a regularly used genetically modified drug, but there are many more. 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. GMO’s Con: GMO’s have not been proven safe for human consumption. GMOs Pro: GMOs have aided plant productivity and boosted crop size, perhaps alleviating.
