    Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology. It involves techniques like recombinant DNA to isolate and copy genetic material or artificially synthesize DNA. This allows genes to be transferred within and across species boundaries to produce novel organisms with desirable traits. Potential benefits include more nutritious, tastier food and disease-resistant plants requiring fewer resources, but some concerns exist around allergic reactions, toxicity, or unexpected genetic changes. However, studies so far indicate genetically engineered foods used today have not caused any proven problems.

    change the genetic makeup of cells,
    including the transfer of genes within

    produce improved or novel organisms.

    isolating and copying the genetic

    The possible benefits of genetic
    How can it
    engineering include:
    • More nutritious food
    serve?
    • Tastier food
    • Disease- and drought-resistant plants
    that require fewer environmental
    resources (such as water and fertilizer)
    • Less use of pesticides Increased supply
    of food with reduced cost and longer
    shelf life
    • Faster growing plants and animals
    • Food with more desirable traits, such as
    potatoes that produce less of a cancer-
    causing substance when fried
    • Medicinal foods that could be used as
    vaccines or other medicines
    • Fast-Growing Salmon • Less Smelly Cows
    Genes from two other fish cause this Modifying bacteria responsible for
    salmon to continually produce growth methane production in cattle results in
    hormones 25% less-flatulent cows
    Can it destroys

    Some people have expressed concerns
    about GE foods, such as:
    • Creating foods that can cause an allergic
    reaction or that are toxic
    • Unexpected or harmful genetic changes
    Genes moving from one GM plant or
    animal to another plant or animal that is
    not genetically engineered
    • Foods that are less nutritious *These
    concerns have proven to be unfounded
    • None of the GE foods used today have
    caused any of these problems.
