GMOs
Changing the genes Very common in America First put on markets in
1990s Some think good, some
bad No known long term
health affects Some severe short term
ones In most of all corn and
soybean crops
Current EventsSugar beets
Tomatoes
Salmon
Alfalfa
Frankenfish
GM salmon
First of its kind
Not animal, animal
drug
Cross of Chinook salmon
and eel-like ocean pout
Grows twice as fast
Alfalfa Roundup ready Made by
Monsanto Allowing more
roundup to be sprayed
1% of all alfalfa is organic
Tomatoes
•Zachary B. Lippman
•Yield multiplies by 1.5
•Gets sweeter
SUGAR BEETS
Court Easier to control
weeds Suspended Could cause a
shortage Farmers don’t
know what to do, cant by seeds

Essential answer #1
Q. Are GMOs safe?A. Although GMOs are very common
in the American society they are very dangerous. Scientists have conducted a experiment on rats because there anatomy is similar to us humans and the rats had heart and organ failure. So are GMO’s safe? I have just answered no they are not.
Essential answer #2
Q. How successful has cloning been?A. Some animals have been
successfully cloned, such as Dolly the sheep, and an endangered species of ox
Essential answer #3Q. What are some of the major cloning
companies in America?A. Cyagra, and Advanced Cell Technology
are some companies that are researching cloning.
Q. Who is the largest GMO producer?A. Monsanto is the largest GMO
producer.
Essential answer #4
Essential answer #5
Q. Are there any laws banning GMOs?A. Yes there are some, in other
countries and in America, as in my maps.
