Produce biofuels and other chemicals for use in manufacturing Genetically Modified Bacteria Reduce the impact of pest species by either deterring them or killing them Modified to have increased nutritional value by reducing their susceptibility to disease, increasing their rate of growth, and improving the quality of the meat/milk Provide organs for humans for transplantation Serve as models for studying human diseases such as cystic fibrosis Produce enzymes to enhance metabolic pathways to aid in the breakdown of toxic chemicals in the environment Allow organisms to better face environmental challenges such as drought, heat, and high salt content in the water supplies Reduce the number of pest species that are vectors for diseases such as Zika and dengue fever Modified to produce antibodies, vaccines, and enzymes that can be used in the treatment of humans Provide plant's…
Which body of the government of india regulates GM research and safety of introducing GM organisms for public services?
Read the paragraph that follows on a particular GMO. Make a tabulation of its use's positive and negative consequences as well as ethical issues. Landmines in many countries worldwide remind us of dreadful wars in the past and these too still prey on innocent lives who accidentally step on them. There is an interesting research however on a genetically modified plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana which detects the presence of land mines through changing colors. In a particular study, a gene that turns-on the production of the red pigment, anthocyanin in the presence of nitrogen dioxide has been inserted in the genome of thale cress (A. thaliana). As the modified plant already renders a sensitivity to the presence of nitrogen dioxide gas, in areas where unexploded landmines exist, the leaves of these plants turn from green to red, signaling the presence of nitrogen oxide gases released by these buried bombs (Nelson, 2004). Figure. Thale cress, the landmine detecting plant lifted from…
