Does genetically modified food grow more bacteria than organic food?
yes. but not true always this again depend upon how is this food modified genetealy
Do genetically grown crops take longer to grow than naturally grown?
I assume you mean genetically modified, since anything that grows does so based on its genetic material. No, genetically modified crops do not take any longer to grow than their naturally-selected counterparts. When growing corn, for example, the farmer can choose from a fairly wide selection of maturity lengths, both in normal and in genetically modified.
What is meant by the word organic?
If you mean organic food, then this is the answer : Organic foods are grown foods such as patatoes, or apples that grow in soil without chemicals or products with acids to help grow the food. Eg : Normally an organic apple will be green or yellow in colour and maybe sometimes a hint of red. Genetically Modified apples will normally be bigger and most of the time are shiny cherry red.
Why is genetically modified food cheap?
Genetically modified food is so cheap because the processes used in growing it is supposedly "faster, better, and cheaper." Most soybeans, which are in most of the foods we consume, are genetically modified and nobody really knows. Companies just want to grow more for cheap then sell more at a cheap price.
What is the difference between modifided food and organic food?
If your question is asking what the difference between genetically modified food and organic food is, the two have nothing in common except that they both grow in the ground.Genetically modified food seeds have been genetically altered in a lab and usually include a gene or genes from a different species than the seed itself. For example, corn seeds may be genetically altered with bacteria, virus, animal or human genes, which are forced inside the corn seeds. Often, the purpose of the genetic modification is to make the crop more tolerant to chemical herbicides and/or pesticides. GMO seeds are patented and cannot be saved from year to year. No long-term studies have been done in order to determine the effects of consuming GMO foods.On the other hand, organic food usually begins with seeds of varieties that have been grown and their seeds saved for many years, although hybrid varieties, which are a cross between two varieties of the same species, may also be used. Organically grown foods cannot contain GMOs. They have no modifications and are truly natural. The food grown organically is completely safe and some studies show that organic foods are more nutritious than non-organically grown foods.
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.
What are genetically modified fish?
Genetically modified fish are fish that have had their DNA changed by taking a gene from an unrelated organism and forcing it into the DNA of a fish. The only known GMO fish is salmon, which has been modified to make grow faster and bigger than their non-GMO counterparts.
Can ordinary shop bought vegetable seeds be sprouted to eat?
That depends on the variety. Many, if not most, store bought veggies are hybrids, genetically modified or irradiated and will not produce good, grow-able seeds.Experiment is the answer. Gather and plant your seeds. If they sprout at all, you should have a nice plant for your new garden.
What foods are genatically modified?
