What is a potential benefit for the environment that stems from genetic engineering?
From the anedotal evidence, potential benefits for the environment of genetic engineering are difficult to find. There have been promises of less chemicals in the form of pesticides being needed for GM crops, but that just has not been shown to be true. Also, "unintentional" cross-breeding of GM varieties with non-GMO varieties, including organically grown crops, has been shown to be occurring.
What inventions have been used for evil?
Te nuclear bomb
Haven't GMOs been considered safe for years and why is there such a fuss about them to the point that people in Europe and china are burning Monsanto crops?
According to some people, including some but not all scientists, GMOs have been shown to be safe. Other people are not convinced due to what they consider questionable practices in the approval process, possible political issues, mistrust of the studies that have been done, possible unexpected changes being doen through the engineering process itself, the effects of horizontal gene transfer (mixing species), and many other concerns. People may be burning GMO crops in Europe because in at least some countries in Europe, they are not supposed to be grown. The same might be true for China. People also may not want to risk cross pollination of GMO crops with non GMO and organic crops.
Where has Nuclear Energy been used with great success?
In France for example.
How serious have nuclear reactor accidents been?
Between 1945 and 1987, there were 285 nuclear reactor accidents, injuring over 1,550 people and killing 64.
Where were the crops grown?
The crops were grown in the fields/plots of farmland that farmers cultivate for agriculture. This could be in different types of environments such as rural areas, farmlands, or greenhouses, depending on the crop and farming method used.
How desertification affect farmers?
there wouldnt be enough crops to be grown, since all the nutrients has been took out of the soil. cannot grow more crops in the desert
How are GM food crops produced?
GM crops are produced much like other crops, except that many that are grown have been genetically engineered to be resistant to herbicides or to produce an insecticide in the plant itself.
How have crops that are grown next to the nile changed over the years?
it has not been rich but it has not flooded so they water it by it self
What is soil stress?
When the soil have been used a lot of times so it gets unhealthy. In other words it has been stressed out. Many Crops have been grown in it.
Why are crops sparkling on FarmVille?
Its because the crop has been fertilized by one of your neighbors. Make sure you harvest it as soon as you can, you get more XP's and points for fertilized crops. When fertilized crops are fully grown they will give you more XP. The fertilizing feature is now available to everyone however you can only fertilize your neighbors farms after completing a friend mission and the fertilizer can only be used on 5 crops that are partially grown or under 90% grown.
What are 2 different GM crops?
Some, though not all, corn and soybeans grown in the US have been genetically modified.
What is an agromonist?
An agromist looks at the fields and tells that farmers what to add to the soil to make the crops grow better. For example the right sprays that will make the crops grow the best. Different chemicals will be added depending on the crops that have been and will be grown on the fied(s).
Are crops primary vegetation?
No. Crops are vegetation that have taken over after the primary vegetation have been removed from that area. For instance, in a prairie grassland, grass is the primary vegetation. This grass is removed by plowing to allow for crops to be grown where native grasses once flourished.
How do farmers grow GM food?
GMO foods are grown very much like non-GMO that are not being grown organically. The big difference is that some of the crops have been engineered to have resistance to herbicides like Round-up. For those crops, the herbicide can be sprayed directly on the crop without killing it; whereas, it cannot be sprayed directly on the non-GMO crops. Other crops have been genetically engineered to produce a substance that kills insects when they eat the plant. In that case, those growing GMO crops theoretically would not need to use pesticides, or at least not as many pesticides, as those who grow non-GMO crops.
Should pesticides and herbicides be used on organically grown crops?
Only those compounds which have been specifically approved for organic use.(By the way, herbicides are pesticides.)
Where are gm crops currently grow?
GM crops are currently grown in many countries around the world, including the United States, Brazil, Argentina, India, and Canada. These crops are predominantly genetically modified to enhance traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, and herbicides, as well as to improve yields and nutritional content.
