Question

Scenario 1:

Scientists have developed genetically engineered plants that are pest-resistant. By adding genes to the plant’s DNA, they become toxic to insects (but not to plants or animals). This means that these plants may not need to be sprayed with pesticides to ward off the insects.

Would you be willing to eat these genetically altered crops? Explain your answer. (5 points)

What are some possible impacts (positive or negative) of this genetically engineered plant on the environment, society, and individuals? (5 points)

Answer 2

"1. No I woudlnt eat the plant considering it has the pesticide thing on it."

Dude your science student. WAKE UP.

"2. Its Negative cause you can get sick from doing that. Although, its keeps most things away like bugs it still isn't good for humanity with all those chemicals in the plant that prevent such and such"

May i know who got seek because of GM crop? How it is not good for humanity.

Search for a research paper saying such thing and then say it.

Answer 3

I read a study which found that 1% of people think they have eaten genetically modified food, despite the fact that roughly 70% of food commercially available is, guess what, genetically modified.

There is no good health reason not to eat genetically modified food.
