Genetically Modified Food: Good or Bad

Introduction

Recent technological advancements have led to many changes not only to people’s lifestyles but also to commodities. Of major concern in the field of agriculture is the development of Genetically Modified (GM) products/organisms. Biotechnologists remove a desired gene from an organism and transfer it to a different organism. This involves the extraction of a section of DNA from an organism and splicing it into the pre-existing DNA of the recipient organism (Rich, 2004, p. 891). Historians argue that the first commercial production of GM products occurred in the late 1990s in the United States. Research has shown ...

Summary and Critique about nature.

All the six articles appear to have a common point of interest, ‘Nature’. From one of the advanced dictionaries, nature is taken to mean distinct characteristics used to point out an object to which the traits are attributed. Considering Casey’s work, the argument is entirely based on defining wilderness and variation in the meaning of the word according to context of use. Casey tries to give some characteristics of wilderness and what wilderness is all about. This work closely intertwines with Cornon’s version and the outcome is even a clearer definition of the nature of wilderness. Considering ...

Abstract

Different factors led to worsening of Carla’s condition. Communication lapses contributed to the adverse events as Ana did not call the physician at the dialysis unit to inform him of the importance to monitor Carla’s INR. In addition, the inflexible scheduling hindered Carla from getting the ultrasound test done at the right time and receiving timely care. Another factor is the patient’s failure to follow the discharge instructions. All parts such as the hospital, dialysis center and laboratory should communicate effectively by mailing discharge summaries and calling respective parts to ensure patients are receiving recommended care ...

Abstract

Proteins are made up of amino acids and have major structural as well as functional roles in the body. Amino acid chains are synthesized from DNA sequences through transcription and translation. Proteins become fully functional only after co-translational or post-translational modification of the amino acid side chains and folding into appropriate three-dimensional conformations. Even slight changes in the DNA code could drastically alter the protein folding, alter its functioning, and eventually lead to certain diseases. Inherent cellular repair mechanisms, protein degradation pathways and molecular facilitators such as chaperones try to keep proteins in their native, stable conformation by acting ...

Background information: The diagram below shows the activation of mTORC1 by growth factors as already encountered in workshop 5. The activity of mTORC1 is mainly controlled by the tuberous sclerosis complex, which consists of a heterodimer of tuberin (TSC2) and hamartin (TSC1). The known function of hamartin is to stabilise tuberin. Tuberin has GAP (GTPase activating activity) towards the G-protein Rheb. Rheb is active in its GTP-bound form and activates the mTOR kinase resulting in phosphorylation of S6Kinase (S6K) and consequently ribosomal protein S6, as well as 4EBP-1, resulting in protein synthesis and cell growth. Growth factor signalling results ...

The query optimization problem

Lack of precise statistical information about the database hampers greatly the optimization of queries in database systems (Raghu, & Johannes, 2003). Good algorithms have to be applied in the process of query optimization if success is to be achieved in a greater manner (Walker, 2007). In this paper, we define a query as a kind of language expression used to describe data elements to be retrieved in the database (Garcia-Molina, Ullhman, & Widom, 2004). Application of queries is done in many different settings. In many cases, users send direct requests to the databases in order to get ...

Genetic engineering is a boon to the food sector. Plants and animals are genetically modified (GM) to increase the yield, make them disease or pest tolerant and ensure nutritious food is available to all. There may be a chance for the introduced genes to pass through the food to the consumer but any harm it can cause can only be judged based on the food’s toxic or allergic properties. Unless direct evidence linking negative health impact to consumption of GM food is available, GM foods need not be prohibited. Companies have the moral duty to inform consumers about ...

The Biological Basis

The term Genetic Modification (GM) refers to the techniques by which the genetic composition of a plant is manipulated by adding specific genes to it. Every plant contains genes, which are DNA sequences containing information that determine its specific characteristics or traits. The genes are “inheritance units” that provide instructions for the development and functionality of the plant’s next generation. Crop plants modified through this process are called GM or genetically engineered crops, or transgenic crops (“Process of Developing Genetically Modified (GM) Crops.”, n.d.). The principal steps in the process are: - The wanted gene is isolated; e.g. ...

Coevolution refers to the process through which two or more diverse species jointly or reciprocally affects each other’s evolution as well as development. It can also be defined as the change in the genetic composition of species in a reaction to the genetic modification in another species. The idea of coevolution is mainly considered as the reciprocal evolutionary change or modification of the interacting species. For instance, species C evolves, which results species D to evolve, which effects species C to evolve, then causes species D to evolve and the process repeats itself in that sequence. Many commentators ...

Humans, as the creation myth suggests, are co-creators who were made to impact nature by modifying it through their activities. This is depicted in the material culture that rests in national parks, museums and other reservoirs of cultural heritage. As people live in an area, rather than simply making do with the conditions of the place and what it supplies to them, they adapt to it by producing new forms of material culture through technology that eventually makes the place change. This shows how humans are more than just consumers of nature who preserve and perpetuate its conditions, but ...

- What are GM foods? Genetically modified foods are derived from genetic engineering of various organisms. Unlike mutagenesis which results in non-specific alterations of the DNA, genetic engineering results in precise changes to the DNA component in an organism. The sale of GM foods commenced in 1994, and the first GM food to be sold was a tomato that was genetically engineered to ripen at a slower rate (International Food Council 125). Genetically modified foods are mainly derived from transgenic plants. These plants are derived from artificially inserting genes into them which alters their DNA composition. The inserted gene, ...
