Answer 1

Yes, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) should be used to help meet the world’s food needs but with taking care of all the ethical concerns.

What are genetically modified organisms

Organisms whose genetic material i.e. genes are being modified by certain molecular biology techniques are known as genetically modified organisms. The genes which are manipulated or modified are known as transgenes therefore these organisms are also known as transgenic organisms.

Why should they be used to help meet the world’s food needs?

As the world’s population is rapidly increasing, there is a need for new technologies which can help meet this challenge. Currently, the agriculture which is practiced today is not sustainable, a lot of herbicides and pesticides are being used which has led to massive destruction of the lands.

So, genetically modified organisms become a solution to it.
