The use of GMO is one of the major debates that happens today throughout the world. its genes changed via biotechnology and its use of genetic modification. Scientists can produce new varieties of plants with certain qualities, such as being more resistant to viruses or bug-killing chemicals. Even though there is a main cause of contaminated food, GMO is a better way to go because it protects the world, and creates stronger crops creating less pesticides. GMO contamination is certain to happen…

The results were similar to what was hypothesized. They indicate that the corn chip sample was GMO positive. This was determined because a band was present in lane 4, which contained the corn chip DNA with GMO primers. This result was similar to the band produced by the GMO positive DNA with GMO primers. Since the corn DNA contained the GMO DNA, the GMO primers were able to anneal to the correct segment, and as the PCR cycles continued, the DNA was amplified. Since the PCR produced millions of…

UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE HEALTH AND GLOBALIZATION Globalization Written Assignment Unit Seven UoPeople Student 5/24/2017 The seventh unit of the course of Globalization has given us the opportunity to learn about the health and globalization.

Because the world is become a village, it is of great…

Biodiversity In The Amazon Rainforest Just think, you are a little bacteria in the huge Rainforest, waiting to be found. But all the sudden your home gets destroyed and burned to make roads and factories. For what? Just to pollute the environment and especially the air. People think animals and bacteria don’t have feelings and that they wouldn’t be mortified and confused that their land and home have been cut and burned down. That is why it is very important to save the Rainforest.…

In this experiment, we added different types of liquid to stimulate acid rain, in order to determine the growth of crops when affected by different strengths of acid rain. My hypothesis was that if the liquid was less acidic, then the crops would be able to grow more effectively. My prediction was that water would grow the crops the tallest, that apple cider vinegar would grow the crops the shortest, and that white vinegar would grow the crops in the middle. Furthermore, my hypothesis was proven…

Since it was decided that every separate GM product needs a number of tests run on it by the national government regulatory committees, the process has become much slower (U.S. General Accounting Office, 1). GM foods and crops are being regulated similarly to prescription drugs, even though there is no true evidence that they have more risks than conventional foods and crops. The ultimate question is “should GM foods be labeled?”. According to agricultural businesses, labeling of GM foods…

Discussion: The completion and analysis of the data produced by this experiment showed that sunflower oil will not serve as an affective pesticide. Sunflower oil did influence the C. maculatus’ ability to reproduce. Beans with 15ml/kg of oil were able to cut the number of eggs present by almost half. However, the analysis of the error bars showed no significance between the no sunflower oil and sunflower oil of either 5ml/kg or 15ml/kg concentration. This lead to the conclusion that while…

Dana Goodyear discusses entomophagy. The article indicates that eating insects are ecological and economical as serve as a protein source. According to Goodyear, most insects are cold blooded, and are more efficient at converting feed to meat as are cattle. In contract, cattle waste energy keeping themselves warm. For example, grasshoppers have three times as much protein and have many nutrients such as iron and zinc. I think Goodyear is advocating for eating insects as part of our human diet…

By genetically modifying plants they can be made with more nutritional value, and resistant to diseases. (GMOs Good or Bad) But in many countries, GMOs are actually banned. Despite all the controversies surrounding it, GMOs are beneficial to society. Foods are made more nutritious by bio. First, GMOs can aid people in poverty. A genetically modified kind of rice has beta carotene in the grain. The human body can turn this into Vitamin A. (Are GMOs Good or Bad) Many children in third world…

An experiment was taken that used corn and if the depth of the planting affected how many bushels grew. Seeds were planted ½ inch below, 1 inch below, 2 inches, and 3 inches. According to the Demonstrative Report, 2008, corn that was planted 2-3 inches below the surface had the best results and seeds just ½ inch below had the worst. This is a little different from the experiment being tested today. The experiment being tested is when you plant Alaskan Pea seeds deeper will they grow the same…
