Grace Kalenda Professor Analicia Buentello ENG January 25, 2022 Outline of Explanatory Research Paper on GMOs Introduction A. Genetically Modified Food (GMOs) are the term genetically refers to genes. DNA, which is a set of instructions for how cells grow and develop, is used to construct genes. The second option is Modified. This suggests that a modification or alteration has been done. Finally, there is the term Organism. B. Many people associate genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with agriculture. However, the term "organism" refers to all living things, including bacteria and fungi. C. GMOs are live organisms whose genetic code has been altered in some way. Unlike traditional breeding, which has been practiced for millennia, which includes combining all the DNA from two distinct sources, generating a GMO is far more specific. They inject a gene or two into individual cells in a lab rather than crossing two plants in the wild. However, as previously stated, GM technology may also be employed on microbes. Bacteria, for example, have been genetically edited to generate medications that can heal diseases or vaccinations that may prevent them. Insulin, which is used to treat diabetes, is a regularly used genetically modified drug, but there are many more.
Body 1 A. Farmers have been tinkering with genomes since before they knew what genes were. For thousands of years, they attempted to crossbreed beneficial qualities from one plant species to another: this is how wild grasses became wheat. They also carefully bred animals to make them fatter and tastier: How wild boars evolved into pigs GM's goal is to get identical outcomes in a shorter period. Crossbreeding normally takes 8-12 years to develop a superior plant. However, if scientists can identify a gene in one species that relates to, say, the capacity to thrive in saline soil, they may occasionally transfer it straight into the genetic code of another species without having to span successive generations for years. B. Increased crop yields, lower costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, improved nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world's growing population are some of the advantages of genetic engineering in agriculture. C. Since the birth of agriculture, humans have picked plants for desired features. Initially, the only option to develop agricultural plants was to gather seeds from the best-performing individuals for planting the next year. Once plant reproductive was better known, specific fixation selected plants to produce offspring that were harder, bigger, more delicious, or more disease resistant than their forefathers.
