What is DNA moved from one organism and inserted in another?
The organism becomes genetically modified. There are tomatoes with FISH DNA in them to help prevent certain diseases in the tomatoes.
How genetically modified organisms help the environment?
By reducing the need for herbicides and insecticides. Also by increasing yields, thus allowing the same amount of production on smaller acreage, thereby decreasing deforestation.
Can you please help in writing a paragraph on genetically modified crops?
Yes, I can. What would you like to know?
How does genetically modified food help farmers grow crops under difficult circumstances?
You would have to speak directly to farmers to get their reactions to genetically modified food, but it is likely that if it makes them more profits with less effort, they like it in that respect.
How might these genetically-engineered crops impact the environment?
They will help the environment by allowing farmers to use fewer pesticides.
How does adaptaion help an organism?
Adaptation allows the organism to become best suited for its environment!
What does Genetically Modified mean?
Gene splicing or hybrid species are both genetically modified. *That is true, but there are two distinct kinds of genetic modification. Hybrids are modified by crossing one variety with another within the same species. For example, a Rutgers tomato is crossed with a Big Boy tomato to make a better variety of tomato. Another form of genetic modification is called bioengineering. Unlike hybrids, this type of genetic modification is done by splicing genes from one species into those of an entirely different species. This type of gene splicing has been done to certain vegetables since, I believe, the 1970s. An example is bacteria or virus genes that have been spliced into corn. This type of modification has been done with tomatoes, soybeans, potatoes, and other vegetables, as well as some varieties of trees. From what I have read, the goal is not to make a better variety, but to make the variety more tolerant of chemicals or, in the case of trees, to make their structure weaker to make them more suitable for paper-making. An organic grower most often uses heirloom varieties that have not been genetically modified, either by hybridization or bioengineering. In fact, most of the organic growers I know are vehemently opposed to any kind of bioengineered organisms and have organized to oppose such practices.When something is modified by genetics, it means that it has been altered on a genetic level. Everything is made up of genes, including us. Some foods are altered genetically to help it be resistant to diseases.
Does Genetically modified food help strike hunger?
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
How can genetically modified foods be benefical to people?
One example it is the rise modified genetically in asia.This rice it produce vitamin A that it help to prevent eye disorder that are commune in the Asia because of lacking vitamin A.Another example it is peanut treas that are modified with some genes from bacillus thuringensis that encode some proteins that protect peanut treat from insects.
How gene products such as cellulose and genetically modified bacteria with increased capability for nitrogen fixation can facilitate raising farm plants and animals?
Nitrogen is an essential nutrients that facilitate plant growth thus using the genetically modified bacteria can help much in plant production which in turn can support the ecological balance
Why are genetically identical plants so useful for showing the effect of the environment on appearance?
Environment can play just as important of role in an organism's development as genetics. Genetically identical plants help to rule out variables (is it because of inherited traits or because of the environment in which the plant was located) in phenotypic results. An example is if genetically identical rose bushes were grown in New England verse Arizona. Chances are the resulting adult plants would look much different due to their respective environments: sun quality, water, soil nutrients, pests and disease. Since the rose bushes have identical genomes, the reason for their different appearances is the environment.
What percentage of the world watches Television?
Percentage? Well the Amish don't but that's not much help. Though they do grow Genetically Modified Plants so wait and see.
