Question
Chapter 10, Problem 4GFO
Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether manufacturers of genetically modified products label their products as modified or not and whether the modified products should be labeled as modified even if there is no difference in modified and nonmodified version of product.
Introduction:
The products that are manufactured by modifying their genetic material are termed as genetically modified products. The scientists have discovered many techniques to produce genetically modified products. The genetically modified products are labeled as modified by the manufacturing companies. The manufacturers spend a lot of money for the correct labeling of genetically modified products

Why do people avoid purchasing genetically modified foods when grocery shopping?
In the US, 60-70% of the processed foods are genetically modified is some way. Take a few minutes to research genetically modified foods. Find a website on one genetically modified food that you choose and complete the following questions: 1. Which genetically modified food did you choose? 2. Briefly, summarize this food item. (One paragraph) 3. How common is this type of genetically modified food? 4. Can this food item be used to make other products?5. What website did you find provided the best information? 6. What organization or business runs this site?
What is the only genetically modified meat available to purchase? You can purchase a variety of organic meats but this refers to their feed. Only one is truly genetically modified - a lot of debate around this, is it safe to eat?

- In Genetically Modified or GM, What are the main issues of concern for human health?arrow_forwardThe use of genetically modified organisms in areas of agriculture and medicine is favored by many. However, knowing that possible risks may occur as a result of their usage, organizations who are pro-people’s right deem it necessary to oppose the commercialization of these genetically engineered products. As a youth, what is your stand to this issue and how would you make your position clear?arrow_forwardDo you think genetically modified foods have more risks or benefits and are comfortable eating genetically modified foods (like fish genes in tomatoes or bacteria proteins in corn)?arrow_forward
- By seeing the picture, how are Recombinant DNA formed? What is the difference between genetic modification and selective breeding?arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of Producing genetically modified organisms to enhance food production, Combining two or more genes in one organism to enhance its traits and DNA manipulation of certain species to produce organs for harvesting.arrow_forwardGenetically modified foods are products produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Golden rice, Flavr Savr tomatoes and Roundup Ready soyabeans are products of this technology. Discuss the advantages of these three genetically modified crops.

- What is a genetically modified organism (GMO)? a. a plant with certain genes removed b. an organism with an artificially altered genome c. a hybrid organism d. any agricultural organism produced by breeding or biotechnologyarrow_forwardWe each carry 20,000 genes in our genome. Genes can be patented, and over 6,000 human genes have been patented. Do you think that companies or individuals should be able to patent human genes? Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the process of DNA sequencing? a. DNA is separated on a gel, and the different bands are labeled with fluorescent nucleotides and scanned with a laser. b. A laser is used to fluorescently label the nucleotides present within the DNA, the DNA is run on a gel, and then the DNA is broken into fragments. c. Nucleotides are scanned with a laser and incorporated into the DNA that has been separated on a gel, and then the DNA is amplified with PCR. d. Fragments of DNA are produced in a reaction that labels them with any of four different fluorescent dyes, and the fragments then are run on a gel and scanned with a laser. e. DNA is broken down into its constituent nucleotides, and the nucleotides are then run on a gel and purified with a laser.arrow_forward
- Genetic engineering has been a debatable topic in science as many people are only aware of its risk than benefits. Which among the scenarios below are the benefits of using GMOs? I. Genetic engineering in food can be used to alter genes in crops leading to new diseases in pants. II. Genetic engineering in crops such as rice, corn and tomato can be used to obtain new strains with better nutritional qualities. III. Genetic engineering in food can be used to create totally the same substances such as proteins and other food nutrients. IV. Genetic engineering can be used to increase the immunity to diseases in plants leading to uncontrolled transfer of the resistance genes to the harmful pathogens. V. Genetic engineering can restrict the diversity in organisms. VI. Genetic engineering can be used to suppress negative traits in human like certain genetic diseases. a. II, III, IV and VI b. II, III and VI c. I, II, IV and V d. I, III,…arrow_forwardA survey was conducted in 500 Filipinos belonging to the very low to low income generating families with at most a high school diploma. The study found out that 95% of the participants believed that consuming GMOs lead to unwanted mutations. Among the most common fear listed was the development of unwanted phenotypes for their children and grandchildren because of eating GM crops. Based on your accumulated knowledge in genetics and on how GMOs are produced, explain why the claim is impossible to happen. Use one specific example of GMO to justify your answers.arrow_forwardthis is an example of biotechnology: In order to increase the yield of oil from canola, research focused on ways to reduce competition from competitor weed plants. Weeds can be controlled by spraying with a herbicide that interferes with biological processes, like amino acid anabolic reactions, in the plant cells. A mutant of canola that is resistant to herbicides is sometimes grown in fields that are sprayed with the herbicide. The majority of canola in Canada, though, is genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides. also use the link: https://youtu.be/VS3kcwgIwm0 Question: Evaluating Biotechnologies in Food Systems As we practice being able to describe choices in Biology you will use this consolidation task to organize details about the advantages and disadvantages of biotechnologies.
