According to reports by National Public Radio, sales of products labeled Non-GMO have more than doubled over the past two years,

jumping from $7 billion to $16 billion. At the same time, organic foods have also been gaining in popularity, though at a much slower rate. What do you know about GMO's? All organic foods contain GMO ingredients, as set forth in USDA guidelines. 85% of the U.S. corn is GMO; modified to be resistant to herbicides. The U.S. does not require that GMO foods be labelled as such. Example of GMO: cross-pollinating plants for a desired trait. Technology now allows us to transfer genes between organisms of different species and even kingdoms. Extensive testing has been conducted on GMO-foods to ensure that there will be no adverse allergic reactions or health risks.

Genetically modified organisms are those organisms in which certain gene is inserted to get the desired beneficial results.

Explanation:

A genetically modified organism is an organism or plant altered for beneficial traits which would not have been possible by the traditional mating process or recombination techniques.

Genetic engineering is the technique involved for the construction of gene of interest and inserting them in the host species for getting expressed.

Many fruitful results have come out like a tomato of long shelf life k/a flavr savr.

Apart from molecular techniques used for cloning, CRISPR is the recent innovation which had made it very simple.

The GMOs can solve the food problem of the world as Single-cell proteins and longer shelved life food.

Disease resistant plants can be formed for better yields.

Nutrition level of food can be increased.

Example of GMO are canola, corn, papaya, soy and many animals are also on the list.

Explain the water cycle in a paragraph
stepan [7]

Answer:

Water cycle is also called hydrological cycle. In this cycle water moved continuously above the surface of the earth for the continuity of life. Water is evaporated from the sea and ocean in the process of evaporation. This water goes to the atmosphere and form clouds. These clouds moves to hilly areas and comes to the ground in the form of rainfall and snowfall etc. Some water is stored on the mountains in the form of snow and the remaining downward through streams.
