•Explain what is involved with this biological issue
Genetically modified organisms, also known as a transgenic organism, are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially altered in a laboratory using genetic engineering(GE) techniques.
Every genes hold information that will give the organism a trait which is similar to phenotype. Genetic engineering technique involves the process of taking genes …show more content…
This means that individual and their safety should be evaluated on a case by case basis and that it is not easy to make general statements on the safety of all genetically modified organisms.
People who are against genetically modified organisms do not like that Roundup Ready corn is sprayed with toxic chemicals. Even though the corn can survive, they worry about how it might affect people or animals that consume it. An agency of the World Health Organization has classified the main chemical used in Roundup as a “probable carcinogen.” which means it could probably increases the risk of cancer.
Genetically modified organisms may have associated health risks that we do not fully understand. The organization called The Institute for Responsible Technology has provided a list of potential hazards and health risks of Genetically modified consumption. They have collected a great deal of support for their position that genetically modified organisms are dangerous, and much of their information are from research studies, clinical experience from doctors, and anecdotal evidence from farmers and parents of children who thrived on a GMO-free
