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.

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.
