What are Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) also known as GM foods, are foods produced from organisms that have introduced changes in their DNA using methods of genetic engineering.
Using Genetic engineering techniques is allows the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over the traits. For thousands of years humans have been genetically modifying foods, for example corn never use to be tasty yellow treats we eat today, but thousands of years ago they were altered from a weed type plant called ‘teosinte’ that weren’t edible. |
