How is genetically modified cotton made?
It is grown, not made. They change the seeds before they are planted. One example is a blue color cotton that is grown, but sometimes the blue will cross breed with a field of white and damage the white. White cotton depends on its whiteness to sell well.
Why does insulin in the blood increase after meals?
Insulin controlls how the glucose injested is turned into fat. It also controls how much is removed to be turned into glycogen in the liver and muscles. It controls the amount of glucose transported to cells and respiration. Therefore, when we eat our pancreas supplies more insulin to be able to cope with the levels of sugar that we take in after meal times.Diabetics can produce too much insulin or too little insulin. Insulin injections need to be taken before meal times (consult a doctor) for diabetics in order to get the sugar to the cells. If the insulin is not administrated then the body will use reserves of glucose from the fat and muscles to respire and grow etc.
Can only bacteria be genitically engineered?
Not at all. There are many foods that you eat that have been genetically engineered to produce something better or faster than before.
How many solar masses does a star have to have before a supernova is produced?
four
What are the total number of ATPs produced during glycolysis?
1 but glycolysis must be completed 6 times before one glucose is produced
Was Monsanto always a developer of genetically modified organisms?
No. Monsanto produced chemicals such as weed killers like Round-up before they branched into the GMO industry.
Concerns with gentically engineered insulin?
Apart from idealogical concerns there shouldn't be any. Genetically engineered insulin is much, much safer than extracting insulin from pig's panreas as they did before they isolated the human insulin gene.
Who discovered genetically modified organisms and when?
No one discovered genetically modified organisms. Such organisms are created by people working in laboratories. In 1953 it was discovered that DNA is the material that carries genes, the information that defines and structures each organism. For the next 50 years people worked to understand DNA and eventually learned how to modify it, in some circumstances. When such a modification is successful, the result is an organism that has been genetically modified - a genetically modified organism.
Genetically engineered insulin advantages and disadvantages?
Zade Lunat *the advantage is that it is the only viable source of clinical quantities of human insulin. Before it's FDA approval for Genetech patients would inject animal insulin purified from animal tissue. Disadvantages? From the frame of mind that is the ONLY source of externally provided human insulin it is hard to attribute disadvantages.
Are orange flavored craisins genetically modified?
It depends on who makes them, but normally the craisins are just soaked in an orange juice concentrate before being dried.
What microbe is used in car fuels?
The microbe is R. eutropha and it has been genetically modified to produce biofuel. However, there is a long way to go before it is produced in large quantizes. And even then vehicles will also have to be changed. There is hope that the same microbe will be able to use carbon dioxide.
What are the disadvantages of GM crops?
Gm crops are the genetically modified crops of food so they dont rot before there sell by date. they are enjected with a gene from another plant.
What is the most common genetically modified food?
Assuming that you mean the first crop with non-natural genetic material inserted artificially by humans, the first genetically modified crop was tobacco, with the first plants having been created in 1982.
How are gm foods made?
GMOs are genetically modified organisms. In general they are made by taking DNA from a source and putting it into the cells of a target organism to produce a desired trait. More specifically, in crops a gene from a bacteria or other organism is forced into the cells of the plant to produce a desired trait. Often the trait is either resistance to a herbicide or production of a substance in the plant itself to kill insects.
Whay enzyme digests insulin?
No, insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas to lower a person's blood sugar level. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a biological process. An example of an enzyme is 'Amylase' this enzyme is found in saliva and is responsible for the initial breakdown of sugar before entering the stomach.
What are the ethics on genetically modified food?
Ethics on genetically modified foods have more to do with how they have been approved and possible improprieties by the developers of GMOs and government agencies than the technology. Many cite lack of long-term studies (environmental, human, and animal) before GMO crops were approved by the USDA and also the FDA, leaving questions about any possible effects of genetically modified plants and foods on our planet and lives. Ethical issues also arise concerning what is referred to as the "revolving door" between biotech companies and government regulatory agencies. Some have questioned the validity of early studies which were done by the biotech companies and also issues related to the way the foods are approved.
Is genetically modified food safe to eat?
Some say they are safe, others say they are not safe, and others say the safety of GMOs is not known. Since long-term human or animal studies were not done before they were introduced into the food chain, the safety of GMO foods is not actually known. There is some evidence that the GMOs, the herbicides used on them, and/or the substance produced in certain genetically engineered crops does cause health issues in humans.
