idk why people like bio so much
Genetic modification shouldnt be a bad thing
i dont even know what would be bad about it
It should be "another tool in our toolbox"
I don't think we should be relying on it 100% when we don't even understand genetics 100%.
The only issue with GMOs is that the method with which the genes are modified is a virus.
We are literally just testing through trial and error.
If the virus mutates we don’t know what happens.
it helps food grow faster and helps it be stronger against diseases
Yes, but we are affected by that
Did you know that most things have GMOs?
in a negative way.
Rather shocking but it is true
yeah
Everything has it's risks, right?
yeah
plus GMO/starving
kinda obvious
Almost everything is GMO already.
yeah
You still have to look at the bigger picture
?>
the issue with long-term use, and use that we don't understand could lead to world-wide epidemics.
Potentially.
GMO'S?
Crops in general. GMO or not, diseases can run rampant.
hold on
Begs the question, if we don't understand it 100%.... then you don't know if what you're doing is beneficial 100% or not.
It has pros and cons
Plus the fact it is like a virus, that is over-rides local crops as well. Whether people consent or not through pollination.
Genetic engineers must first choose what gene they wish to insert, modify or delete. The gene must then be isolated and incorporated, along with other genetic elements, into a suitable vector. This vector is then used to insert the gene into the host organism, creating the GMO.
Begs the question of does it violate someone's rights?
That's like me walking by your farm and throwing my seeds on your field essentially.
Is that just?
Early targeting systems relied on meganucleases and zinc finger nucleases. Since 2009 more accurate and easier systems to implement have been developed. Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) and the Cas9-guideRNA system (adapted from CRISPR) are the two most commonly used. They may potentially be useful in gene therapy and other procedures that require accurate or high through put targeting.
thats better
You don't know 100% what is in that see, or what it will do to your crop.
well
you kind of do
Kind of
