Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, have caused quite a debate since they were introduced in the early 70’s. In general, GMOs referred to any organism whose genetic makeup was a result of experimental crossbreeding (gmo). Scientists were then able to narrow the definition down once recombinant DNA techniques were discovered and introduced. We now refer to GMOs as simply any organism that is genetically modified by recombinant DNA technology (great gmo debate).
We originally started to create GMOs in order to answer questions in biology and medicine. It allowed scientists to create new traits that were beneficial to the wants and needs of the human population. In 1973 the first GMO, a form of E. coli, was created that expressed the
