GMOs can be used to create an increased crop rate at a lower price and therefore can be used to solve the problem of world hunger. Introducing GMOs to third world countries can conserve labor, resources, and land. Nutritional value and vaccines added to the crops can improve life in the countries. These proven benefits outweigh the fact that allergies and effects on wild plants are only potential. Explain please
A crude extract sample was obtained from a plant and was found effective as an anti-diabetic agent in-vitro. The researcher wants to determine the appropriate lethal dose of the sample because it was intended to be administered orally. Literature studies show that plants under the same genus with the source of the crude extract has a lethal dose of 300 mg/Kg BW. Your group performed the test following the OECD Guideline 423 and used the recommended starting dose. The derived approximate LD50 was 25 mg/Kg BW. 1.With the approximate LD50 of the plant sample tested in the case, determine and interpret the TI of the sample if the ED50 is: A. 40 mg/Kg BW B. 18 mg/Kg BW C. 3 mg/Kg Bw

In October 2002, the government of the African nation of Zambia announced that it was refusing to distribute 15,000 tons of corn donated by the United States, enough corn to feed 2.5 million Zambians for three weeks. The government rejected the corn because it was likely to contain genetically modified kernels. The government made the decision after its scientific advisers concluded that the studies of the health risks posed by GM crops “are inconclusive.” Do you agree with Zambia’s decision to turn away the corn? Why or why not? In your answer, consider that at the time, Zambia was facing food shortages, and 35,000 Zambians were expected to starve to death over the next six months. How do the risks posed by GM crops compare to the risk of starvation?
