Essays about Gmo

Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMO’s, has been a controversial topic ever since society has began using them. A GMO is an organism that has had its DNA genetically altered in a lab (Lannilla, 2019). Some people are keen for GMO’s, looking at all the positives they can bring to the future, while others…

Introduction A GMO or Genetically Modified Organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has remained modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. The products we consume…

Why is food so important? Human beings need many things to survive. The third most essential thing for life after air and water is food. This shows us the importance of food for living (Flint, 2019). Food is the only source of essential energy for the body. Our body functions work by taking advantage of…

Genetically modified Organism (GMO) foods have become rampant in our society today due to the vast growing of the population. Countries like Canada, U.S.A and the European Union through modern biotechnology have develop new plant varieties to feed their population. Genetic modification of food is changing the genes of a living thing to alter its…

Although food sustainability will soon become an issue due to rapid population growth GMO crops must be banned due to adverse effects on the world. This is due to the fact that GMO crops affect fertility, pose health risks, and harm the environment. GMO crops result in infertility issues. GMO crops contain BT. BT stands for…

Introduction Genetic modification or genetic engineering is the process of altering the DNA in an organism’s genome. This can include modifying one base pair or even replacing a region of DNA with an additional copy of a gene. This effect is used a lot by scientists to enhance or modify the traits of an organism….

Introduction Food as a basic commodity is fundamental to life. Historically, people used to migrate from their countries due to inadequate food and feed supply. Today, the population has increased tremendously, and the need to improvise new cropping methods must be brought in hardy. According to Dona and Arvanitoyannis (2009), genetically modified foods (GMO) are…

The environment is becoming a big issue in the media and news worldwide. Many new tactics are being implemented to reduce human impact on planet Earth. The genetically modified organism also known as GMOs, hope to improve crop yields as well as increasing crop resistance. The most controversial aspect of GMOs is the impact they…

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) were created in the 1970s when scientists discovered they could edit the genes of an organism to give them different traits and features and even fix genetic defects that are harmful. GMOs have been the source of many controversies since they were created (Smith 2007). The two articles go into quite…

GMO stands for genetically modified engineering. In a laboratory when a living organism’s genetic material is artificially manipulated through genetic engineering, it is called GMO. From animals to plants and microorganisms, a wide variety of organisms have been genetically modified till now. Traits of GMO include disease resistant, improved nutrition, increased storage, medicinal uses, etc….
