Have you heard about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)? A Genetically Modified Organism is an organism that has been modified genetically to make the organism better or invunerable to certain weather, insects or anything that can harm the plant in general, This practice is most common in plants such as: Corn, Soy, Canola, and even more fruits, vegetables and plants that the average person consumes almost every day. But there are many people that don't agree with the distribution of…

Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, have created tension on what is ethical in the food industry. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, GMOs are “genetically engineered foods [that] have had foreign genes inserted into their genetic codes.” Also, many places have found that there are multiple positives and negatives to GMOs, which is why there is such a divide on whether they are healthy to consume. Furthermore, people should know why GMOs are being made, the difference…

Why use GMOs? “No to GMO” is a saying chanted at rallies but the facts point towards saying “Go with GMO.” The word GMO stands for genetically modified organism. These organisms are created by the removal or insertion of certain genes to make the organism more useful to humans. Scientists are able to make apples that do not brown, potatoes that vaccinate people from the flu, and even plants that can survive in salt water. These GMOs are currently helping to improve life all around the world yet…

There have been many scientific advancements in the recent past, but one of the most impactful and controversial to the agriculture industry is genetic modification. Genetic modification is a time honored tradition that has been a method of breeding for thousands of years. In recent years there have been measurable increases in crop yield, and decrease in pesticide use, solely because of the evolved method of genetic engineering. The products of this technology is known as genetically modified…

intervention is a great importance allowed by early pathological changes. The result of relations within environmental factors, epigenetic, and genetics is the progression of lung carcinoma initiation. Histone modification, DNA methylation, and non RNA expressions are included in Epigenetic alterations and have been reported widely in literature to play a major role in the genesis of lung cancer. Chronic inflammation, smoking, and drugs are the environmental risk cause that can take place in…

Epigenetics means changes in genes that do not affect DNA sequence. These changes might be affected by the exposure every human being has to a different environment and circumstances which leads to changes in their genes, yet these changes do not change that person’s DNA. After interviewing my family, I discovered that I am most at risk for asthma, dust and humidity allergy, rheumatoid arthritis, glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension and migraine. Having a twin sister helps me understand the meaning…

Cancer is a disease of mitosis that removes the stop points on the mitosis cell and keeps building many cells. It starts with a single cell which transforms into a cancer cell. When the cell turns into a cancer cell, it forms a mass group of cancer cells called a tumor. Different cancer cells forms different cancers. The p53 gene is usually to control the cell cycle ,but it is most often mutated in over 50 percent of all cancers. The BRCA1 gene is to help suppress the tumor formation, but if it…

Twenty-Two years ago, the first GMO food was released. The Flavr Savr tomato, which was genetically altered to have a longer shelf life, was approved and sold to the public. This was just the first step of a long journey for GMO foods and their production. So what exactly is a GMO? A GMO is a genetically modified organism - the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. There has…

A Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques like recombinant DNA technology, microinjection, bio ballistics, and electro and chemical liquidation. Genetically modified organisms have many positives like being pest restraint, herbicide tolerant, disease resistance, cold tolerant, good nutrition, pharmaceuticals and phytoremediation. Although the crops have so many positives there are some negatives like…

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms such as plants, animals, and micro-organisms, whose genes become modified in laboratories. This allows the transfer of genes for specific traits between species using laboratory techniques. Genetically Modified Farming was first introduced in the U.S. in the mid-nineties. Since then, Genetically Modified crops grown in the U.S. are engineered for insect resistance or herbicide tolerance. This means they have become widely adopted by growers of…
