What is the study of how food interacts with genes?
The term nutrigenomics refers the how genes determine nutritional requirements. Food biotechnology refers to the study of food and whether it can be genetically modified.
What term is used to describe an animal hoes genes have been altered using biotechology?
A genetically modified organism is one that has undergone gene therapy or hormone treatments. These animals are popular now in the food industry.
What is a genetically linked disease?
a genetically linked disease is often known as a heridatory disease caused due to abnormalities in genes.
Why are females considered the default sex?
because, genetically, we have weaker genes
What is transgenic technology?
Transgenic plants are plants in which DNA from another species has been introduced into the plant's genome.
What does the term GM products mean?
GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.
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.
How are genetically modified organisms different from non genetically modified organisms?
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are different from non-genetically modified organisms in that GMO have had their genes manipulated and intentionally changed by human action in a laboratory. With GMO we can introduce any particular character by providing gene sequence responsible for that character
How are non-genetically modified organisms different from genetically modified organisms?
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are different from non-genetically modified organisms in that GMO have had their genes manipulated and intentionally changed by human action in a laboratory.

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 effect does genetically modified food have on your genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods. In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.
What role does technology play in genetically modified food?
Without technology, there would be no genetically modified foods, because the technology to remove a gene or genes from one species and insert it into another to produce a desired trait would not be available.
How might genetically modified crops affect biodiversity?
One way GM crops may affect biodiversity is through cross pollination with non-GMO and organically grown varieties. Cross pollination could eliminate non-GMO foods over time, and actually, even now no foods that contain corn, soy, canola, and other varieties that have been genetically modified can be guaranteed to be GMO free, not even if they are labeled "100% organic."
How are GM crops different from natural crops?
They are genetically modified through the insertion of genes which the plant would not ordinarily be able to mutate on its own.
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.
Why are most countries not in favor of genetic modification?
Because genetically modified things can create unknown dangers that may not be immediately apparent. Through genetic modification, genes are introduced into an organism that will provide it with a desired trait. However, triggering that gene to come on may also trigger other genes to turn on that can't be anticipated or immediately identified and lead to undesirable consequences. Additionally, genes can cross over into other unintended species. For instance, the gene that makes corn produce its own toxins to fight off disease and infestations could potentially cross over to the bacteria in your gut, hence those toxins will be produced in your body indefinitely. Cross pollination can result in genetically modified plants crossing their genes over to non-genetically modified plants resulting in unintended modified crops that farmers may not even be aware of and could be sold as non-genetically modified to the unsuspecting consumer.
How can genetically modified foods be benefical to people?
One example it is the rise modified genetically in asia.This rice it produce vitamin A that it help to prevent eye disorder that are commune in the Asia because of lacking vitamin A.Another example it is peanut treas that are modified with some genes from bacillus thuringensis that encode some proteins that protect peanut treat from insects.
