This could reduce the effects herbicides have on plants because different insects, diseases and weeds could become resistant to these herbicides. People also fear that these modified genes would spread to other plants and/or animals accidentally, and possibly make people ill in some form or other when they are eaten in their different states. These plants could also spread to areas where wildlife habitat is protected, and spread so fast that it would choke and push out other native plant species, and subsequently wildlife species, endangering the wild habitat.

What are the characteristics of this genetically modified organism?
Bt cotton is an example of genetically modified organism.
Why are genetically modified organism beneficial?
Genetically modified organisms are modified on a genetic level to benefit humans. How this can pose a threat to a population or ecosystem, is that if the genetically modified organism were to somehow create a mutation, and pass that on, it could be damaging to the future generations in reducing their health or other issues may arise. It can also be damaging to an ecosystem if a genetically modified organism were to escape into a wild population and change it.
What does GMO stand for?
GMO stands for a Genetically Modified Organism.
What is GMO genetically modified organisms?
A genetically modified organism results from a gene being removed from one organism and artificially inserted into an organism of a totally different species. This is a simplified explanation and the process is done in a lab.

Can a genetically modified trait in an organism be undone?
no
How was genetically modified food created?
Genetically modified food is created in a lab by removing a gene from one organism and forcing it into an organism of a different species.

How do Schneider and Schneider define genetically modified foods?
They explain what a genetically modified food is this way: "A genetically modified (GM) food or genetically modified organism (GMO) results from the use of recombinant DNA biotechnological procedures that allow the genetic makeup of a food or organism to be altered in some way. This 'recombination' can be accomplished by moving genes from one organism to another or by changing genes in an organism that are already present. These changes result in the expression of attributes not found in the original organism."
What does the abbreviation GMO stand for?

What organism's DNA was insterted into the first genetically modified primate?
jellyfish
What do you call a horse with 6 legs?
a mutant... or a genetically modified organism...
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.
