Epigenetics refers to covalent modification of DNA, protein, or RNA, resulting in changes to the function and/or regulation of these molecules, without altering their primary sequences. Epigenetics has helped the field of genetics it allows scientist to alter the way genes are read and to tell if the gene is active or inactive. Epigenetics can be used for many great causes, such as preventing leukemia or stop aging in adults. The preventing of leukemia is done by the the scientist finding the…

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a very disputable and turbulent topic in the agricultural industry. The main focus points on the controversy of GMOs are whether foods that has been modified be labeled, the long term effects of GMOs on the human body and the environment, the impact of GMO crops for farmers, the regulation of GMOs by the government and the role of GMO crops in fighting hunger. Genetically modified cash crops such as soybeans, canola, cotton, and corn are in demand by…

Are GMO's acceptable or unacceptable? Many are trying to determine the correct answer for this question.However, in this essay i’m going to give reasons as to why they are acceptable. Genetically modifying organisms has been in use since the year 1982. After explaining what GMOS are i want explain as to why they are helpful to our crops and food. 1)In almost everything we eat it traces back to the use of GMO’s. There are many foods Modifying the genetics of our foods. For example since we can…

In recent years, the development of new technology has allowed the scientific community to grow in leaps and bounds, inventing new products and improving the old. Genetically modified organisms — commonly known as GMOs — are such a product of recent scientific gains. As with any new technology, however, GMOs are widely contested and are the subject of an overabundance of misinformation, especially concerning their safety and potential risks. Many critics label GMOs as so-called Frankenfoods,…

According to the World Health Organization GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) are defined as organisms whose genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. There is much speculation and debate in the political, business, and scientific community as to their benefits and drawbacks. One of the highest genetically modified species includes soybeans and in fact up to 85% of soybeans grown in the United States of America have been genetically modified. Economic pressures…

It is the trending thing today, see something new and freak out if you disagree. People are creating rumors and false photographs to grab readers attention that are ignorant on the topic of genetically engineered products. So the question becomes why are people against GMO's or genetically modified organisms? Over the past 20 years many words have been used to try to portray a positive outlook: Genetically modified organisms (GMO's), Genetically Modified (GM), Genetically Engineered (GE), and…

The argument proposed of those against GMO's includes topics such as, the unknown health consequences of consuming genetically modified organisms, permanently mutating genes, reducing biodiversity, cross contamination, and legal issues with seed patenting. While genetically engineered foods have not been shown to be safe or unsafe to eat and may have unpredictable consequences, many scientists are worried that, once consumed, they may pass on their mutant genes to bacterium in the digestive…

Normal Healthy Cells Versus Cancer Cells All living organisms are composed of cells. These cells grow and divide in a controlled manner in order for the organism to function properly. Changes in normal cells can cause them to grow uncontrollably. This uncontrollable growth is the sign of cancer cells. Normal cells have certain characteristics that are important for the proper functioning of tissues, organs, and body systems. These cells have the ability to reproduce correctly, stop…

Marwan. O Aljohani Professor Dereje Gultineh GEO 2400 November 10, 2014 Word count: 863 Policy Brief on GMOs and the Future of Agriculture The agriculture application of genetic engineering has been denied and accepted by different state and unions such as the European Union. Public surveys have shown so many different opinions. It’s an open secret that many countries views are influenced by gender, age, level of income, and socio-professional statue. And that means countries with issues in…

Many people have different views on the growing of plants. One of those would be GMO's or more commonly known genetically modified organisms. many have their own points of views on this subject but overall it comes down to people being for it or not. I for one suggest the use of not using GMO's because of the many unknowns. Genetically modified foods and plants are too unknown because of the unknowns to the use of GMO's, the side effects of the use, and the farmers and peoples cost because of…
