Answer: This is an opinion question so I will give you the facts so you can form your own opinion for this answer.
Explanation:
<u>PRO GMO:</u>
Manufacturers use genetic modification to give foods desirable traits. For example, they have designed two new varieties of apple that turn less brown when cut or bruised.
The reasoning usually involves making crops more resistant to diseases as they grow. Manufacturers also engineer produce to be more nutritious or tolerant of herbicides.
Crop protection is the main rationale behind this type of genetic modification. Plants that are more resistant to diseases spread by insects or viruses result in higher yields for farmers and a more attractive product.
Genetically modification can also increase nutritional value or enhance flavor.
All of these factors contribute to lower costs for the consumer. They can also ensure that more people have access to quality food.
<u>CONS of GMO</u>
Because genetically engineering foods is a relatively new practice, little is known about the long-term effects and safety.
There are many purported downsides, but the evidence varies, and the main health issues associated with GMO foods are hotly debated. Research is ongoing.
Some of the cons include: Allergies, Cancer, antibacterial resistance, and outcrossing which refers to the risk of genes from certain GMO plants mixing with those of conventional crops.
Answer:
1) A double Helix with complementary bases in the middle. The backbone is made of sugar and phosphates. The middle is bases
2) To hold the genetic info for the cell
3) To bring the genetic info from the nucleus to the ribosomes as DNA can't leave the nucleus
4) To bring amino acids to the ribosomes to help build a protein
5) A chain of amino acids held together by peptide bonds
6) Ribosomes
7) Because those are the bases that are complementary in DNA so they must be equal
8) It could lead to a mutation as it would cause the mRNA to code for a different amino acid and thus a different protein will be made
9) DNA is the blueprint for mRNA which will travel to the ribosomes and code for specific amino acids which will eventually build a protein
<span>Chromated copper arsenate, or CCA, is a pesticide that has been used for years in
pressure-treating lumber to prevent destruction from rot and insects. Arsenic, a toxic
chemical, can leach from this treated wood, leaving residues on the wood’s surface and in
nearby soil. Young children who play on or near decks or playscapes made from CCA-
treated wood can get arsenic on their skin and into their bodies, especially if they eat or
drink without washing their hands.
Because of the health risks of long-term exposure to arsenic, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that as of December 31, 2003, arsenic Currently the EPA does not recommend that people remove existing structures made with CCA-treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures. However, they do recommend that people reduce their potential exposure to arsenic.</span>
