Genetically modified foods are plants or animal products that have been enhanced to improve some desirable quality: size, production, flavor, a certain needed vitamin, or resistance to pesticides or disease.
Natural genetic modification (cross breeding) has been going on for millenia, for example, farmers with a particularly productive milk cow will breed her to get calves that have similar high production or to get a bull that could breed with other cows to birth other high milk-producing cows. This kind of genetic modification is also regularly performed today.
A modern technique used for genetic modification is that scientists will identify the genes responsible for giving a plant desirable qualities, and using bacteria or viruses, modify the DNA of other plants to develop that desirable quality.
There is a lot of talk about how genetically modified food is needed, but no real evidence that it is needed.
death. Nothing, food that hasn't been genetically modified is natural food. The kind of food people have been eating for thousands of years. Something is more likely to happen to you if you eat genetically modified food.
Yes
It isn't.
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.
Any food that comes from a plant, animal, or other living thing can be genetically modified.
No movement to try to prevent the development of genetically modified food technology is known. There are; however, people who choose not to eat food that is known to be genetically modified, due to questions about the health and environmental effects of genetically modifying plants used for food.
GMF = Genetically Modified Food
The first genetically modified food began in 1994. Scientist genetically modified a tomato which didn't ripen so quickly after it was picked.
Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
They are genetically modified.
