Outline five (5) Advantages and five (5) Disadvantages of "GMO" seed
With the increase in population, the quality and quantity of food were compromised. In order to increase the food production and improve its yield GMO(Genetically Modified Organisms) were used.
This was an attempt that used the genetic engineering and gene cloning concepts and yielded greater varieties of crops.

- Briefly discuss the following concerns of Biotechnology;(i) Monoclonal antibodies technology versus gene technology for cancer treatment.(ii) Traditional plant breeding versus Gene technology: Which is the more efficient way for pesticide resistant crop production?(iii) Chemical technology versus Enzyme technology in industrial application.(iv) Are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) a threat to the environment?7) Farmers in India have increased the harvest yield of food crops like eggplant by growing them from seeds that have been modified to produce a bacterial toxin that is harmful to pest insects. This is an example of a) selective breeding of the insecticide b) spraying an insecticide on plants c) selective breeding of the eggplant d) an application of biotechnologyIn 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?

Give an example for each of them.5) Briefly explain three general functions of the muscles and bones of the musculoskeletal system.6) Most of the muscles of the skeleton are attached to areas very close to the joints, so that their arms, although they are very small, their mechanisms allow the movement of the human body. (a) How are they considered from the point of view of force efficiency? (b) What are the biomechanical benefits?7) Why are bones considered efficient structures from a biomechanical point of view?Monsanto is a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation based in the United States.

- AquAdvantage salmon is a genetically modified (GM) Atlantic salmon developed by AquaBounty Technologies. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company's application to allow the entry of this GM salmon into the United States food supply late last year. The FDA announced that: "AquAdvantage salmon is as safe to eat as any non- genetically engineered (GE) Atlantic salmon, and also as nutritious." However, opponents of genetically modified food are claiming that the AquAdvantage salmons could pose a serious environmental risk to the marine ecosystem if the engineered fishes escape from the farms. These transgenic salmons would be a big threat to the wild salmons. Justify this statement.Okay, maybe GMOs have decent uses but it can't all be good. I've heard all of the following about GMOs. Which ones are realistic concerns? select all that applys a)Some GMO are patented and farmers must buy seeds every year rather than saving them from their crops. b)GMO's cause allergies at a greater rate than crops produced by cross-breeding. c)Inserted genes produce amino acids not found in nature. d)Inserted genes may escape into wild plants near farmed fields.Q.4. a) How are mutations beneficial for plant breeding? Discuss with an example b) Explain in brief the technology that made us self-sufficient in food production.
- On the following pages, you will be asked the same question seven times: "Based on what you now know, do you think we should raise genetically modified (GM) crops?" Each time, you must answer Yes or No to that question, and each time, depending on how you responded, you will be presented with a new counterargument meant to challenge your stance. Thus, this feature presents six arguments for growing GM crops and six against, but whenever you answer yes or no, you will only see one side of the argument -- the one meant to challenge your position. However, before answering the question for the seventh and final time, you will be shown all 12 arguments for and against. At that point, you may choose Yes, No, or Undecided and then see where your vote stands vis-à-vis those of others.

Some people have advocated labeling that identifies the product as having been made from genetically modified plants. Others have argued that food labeling should be required to identify only the ingredients, not the process by which they were produced. Choose a side in this issue and justify your stand.
