- MODERN GENETICS
- Gene Technology
- Plants
- GM crops
- Flood resistant rice
- Herbicide resistance
- Changing nutrient values
- Pesticide resistance
- Cloning
- GM crops
- Pros and Cons
- Cons
- Antibiotic resistance
- Infertile seeds
- Ingesting alien DNA in GM food plants
- Violating rights of modified organisms
- Environmentalconcerns - gene transfer from gm plants and animals to wild species
- Pros
- Increasing nutritional value of crops to reduce cases of malnutrition
- Improving crop yield to prevent famine
- Use of GM bacteria to produce human medicines such as insulin
- Cons
