Why do scientists create genetically modified crops?
Genetically modified crops are made in order to make a desired trait, such as high yield, disease resistance, large fruit etc. more pronounced and/or undesired traits, such as toxins and large seeds...
Why do some people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
People have genetically modified foods to make them more insect-repellant, to give higher crop yields, to give products with more appealing qualities (flavour, texture, shelf life); this provides benefits for both producer and consumer. Some crop have been modified to be resistant to certain brands of herbicides, so that the plants are not affected when the farmer sprays the area for weeds (see the Monsanto website). Other modifications take the form of plants that are modified to be resistant to saline soils, or drought conditions. These benefits can increase the yields of crops in poorer or arid parts of the world which are normally susceptible to food shortages.
How do scientists make a karyotype?
Scientists make karyotypes based on the bands, indents, and lengths of chromosomes.
World's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product?
Human Insulin Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Why genetically modified crops are made?
Genetically modified crops are made in order to make a desired trait, such as high yield, disease resistance, large fruit etc. more pronounced and/or undesired traits, such as toxins and large seeds in fruit etc. less pronounced. For example, some crops may have a resistance to a certain disease that other crops do not have, the gene that causes the resistance to the disease can be introduced to another type of crop in order to create resistance in the other type of crop. Also some crops may have undesirable traits such as naturally occurring toxins which are a defence mechanism of the plant. Genetic modification can be used to stop the expression of the genes which cause these toxins to be produced, making crops safer for consumption.
How do they make genetically modified foods?
they play with thei cells
Why should all genetically engineered foods be labeled?
All genetically modified should be labeled so consumers can make their own decision as to whether or not to purchase them.

Is the corn used to make Smirnoff genetically modified?
Almost everything that is mass produced uses genetically modified ingredients to save money.
Why are potoatoes genetically modified?
So that companies that make pesticides can make money.
What is genetically modify food used for?
Its normally used for pre made or pre mixed foods such as a tv dinner or ready made meals. Because it has been genetically modifyed it will last longer and wont go 'bad' for some time unlike organic foods. Furthermore, it can be used for animal foods and suppliments in many foods for animals as well.
What is the effect of genetically modified microbes and pollution control?
There are millions of effects brought on by genetically modified microbes and pollution control. This can make a portion of the population Êphobic of anything dealing with the government for example.
What are the pros in banning genetically modified foods?
Accountability, competition, diversity, and health are "pros" in banning genetically modified foods.Specifically, genetically modified foods are appearing on shelves even though their ingredients and procedures tend not to be completely identified and itemized. They come from large producers who can afford the genetic inputs and thereby make it so that domestic, local and small cultivators are disadvantaged in the marketplace. They may threaten diversity by their seeds cross-pollinating with and dominating over plants that are not genetically modified. They tend to be regarded with suspicion regarding their impact on the environment's, people's, and wildlife's well-being since their impact is neither known nor researched and their incorporation into lab animal diets is replete with incidences of tumors.
How different between normal chicken and Gm chicken?
By GM, you probably mean genetically modified. That means the chicken's DNA has been modified to make it "better". A typical improvement is faster than average growth rate. The normal chicken has not been genetically modified. Organic chickens are not only not genetically modified themselves, but are fed food that has not been genetically modified either. These are considered the healthiest, but are also the most expensive. The GM has nothing to do with General Motors.
How do they make genetically modified chicken?
Genetically modified chicken is created by splicing genes together. Scientist are able to isolate genes and DNA. they put those splices with other DNA strands to modify chickens.
Does genetically modified food affect human health?
Yes. Research with genetically modified foods approved by the FDA have been found to be safe and otherwise normally tolerated. Perhaps the biggest concern in creating new genetically modified foods is the potential for allergies- a plant containing a peanut gene might cause a reaction in those allergic to peanuts.
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.
