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.
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 is a genetically engineered canarypox virus being treated as a potential aids vaccine?
The canarypox virus has been genetically modified to carry specific HIV genes that can trigger an immune response without causing HIV infection. This modified virus is being studied as a potential AIDS vaccine because it can stimulate the immune system to recognize and target HIV, potentially providing protection against the virus.
What is transgenic technology?
Transgenic plants are plants in which DNA from another species has been introduced into the plant's genome.
What are some genetically related diseases?
Genetic genes is a problem... well, I have just answered your question!
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.

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

What are the transgenic bacteria?
Transgenic bacteria are bacteria that have been genetically modified to contain genes from another organism. These genes are usually inserted to give the bacteria new functions, such as producing a specific protein or metabolizing a particular substance. Transgenic bacteria are commonly used in biotechnology and research.
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.
