a tobacco plant
What was the first whole food to be genetically engineered?
tomato
The world's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product was?
Humulin
World's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product?
Human Insulin Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
What rice was genetically engineered to produce pro-vitamin A?
Oryza sativa. The first type of rice used to make,' Golden Rice. '
Which genetically modified animals are approved for human consumption?
There are currently no genetically modified animals that are approved for consumption in the UK or USA. Genetically modified salmon, with growth hormones inserted, look to be winning the race to be the first GM animal to be approved for human consumption. However there is plenty of opposition against GM animals as food by many campaigners
When was genetically modified food come to markets?
The first GMO crop was soy and it was approved for commercial production in 1996.
Who engineered the first airplane?
Charles Taylor
First transgenic animal?
Transgenic organis can be said to be genetically modified organism(GMO). A GMO can be any organism or plant whose genetic material is altered by genetic engineering techniques for a reserach purpose or for a benefit. Transgenic mouse or knock out mouses, transgenic crops, plants and countless microbes are genetically altered by gene technology.
When did genetically modified food start?
It had started in the 1940's but it has increased the most in the 1970's. Actually, the first GM foods were grown in California in the early 1990's. What the answer above was referring to was the Green Revolution which started in the 1940's, which was however the basis of GM foods. The Green Revolution was the start of HYV (similar to GM foods) which are High-Yielding varieties. These are genetically modified crops which have higher yields (in essence, you get more out of your crop). Also, the first GM foods were sold in 1996.
What was the first drug marketed form in tablet?
You think probable to aspirin (2-acetoxybenzoic acid).
What are the goals for human genetic engineering?
First and foremost, there is currently no known research anywhere in the world with the purpose of growing genetically engineered humans. There are discussions about the benefits of such technology, as this would allow us to eradicate genetically inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis and haemophilia. Genetically engineered human embryos could be used for research to understand how and why defects occur during development of a baby in the womb. Theoretically, it could allow modifying most biological traits of the human body. Some people consider this an advantage, but across the world it is most commonly considered unacceptable and/or undesirable. Genetically engineered human cells (as opposed to entire humans) are already in use to treat severe genetic blood diseases. For this purpose, haemopoietic stem cells are taken from the patient's bone marrow. They are then genetically modified to correct the mutations that cause the blood disease. Finally, the patient's bone marrow is eradicated and the treated haemopoietic stem cells are injected. These stem cells then restore the bone marrow to a healthy state. Similar technologies are being developed to cure other organ-specific genetic defects.
