Chapter ST.5, Problem 3DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether to agree or not on the statement“One of the major objections to GM food is that they may be harmful to human health.”
Introduction: Genetically Modified (GM) foods are genetically engineered foods obtained from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are agriculturally important animals and plants. GMOs are those organisms which are produced through genetic engineering or by recombinant DNA technology.
