How has nearly all the food we eat been "genetically modified" in the broadest sense of the term?
sveta [45]
In the broadest sense of the term, we have modified the genes of almost everything. We used selective breeding to breed the most resistant form of crops, the largest sized chickens, and others. In recent years we have even modified them through gene splicing and other methods. Nearly everything we eat, including including "organic" foods have been changed from their original DNA structure, in fact we do not even know anything's original genetic structure because of this. Genetic modification could also include mutations. Some crops have mutated due to pollution, disease, or other effects such as climate change. Without genetic modification our world would differ from what it looks like today.

Answer:

Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.

Explanation:

Following are few of it's applications:

<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.

<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize  improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.

<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. Many genetic diseases would be curable. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gene therapy is intended to acquaint hereditary material into cells in order to compensate for faulty or mutated genes or to make a helpful protein. On the off chance that a faulty gene makes a beneficial protein be flawed or missing, gene therapy might have the option to present a typical duplicate of the gene to reestablish the function of the protein.  

A gene that is embedded straightforwardly into a cell as a rule doesn't work. Rather, a bearer or carrier called as a vector is hereditary built to insert the desired gene.
