Hello bloggers:How are you this week? I hope you are fine :)Today I will talk about GMOs.The letters GMO stands for “Genetically modified organism” and they are organisms that their genetic material has been changed because of different techniques. These GMOs can , in theory, be found in any field with living organisms such as crops or fish and they are generally used in crops to get better quality products for example a type of corn that gives bigger corns or in fish to create commercial products like glow in the dark fish. In forestry genetic modified organisms are used very often in species like Pinus radiata to get better products such as a better type of wood or in other species so that they can survive to colder climates or less rain. By simply selecting the better species and only using those seeds they are already making a GMO, because they are not only created in labs but also by using the better seeds. In my field these things can be harmful when they are the only ones that are being planted and this can be dangerous for preserving the species. I think that some GMOs are not that harmful for people such as when selecting better crops that have a better flavor and such, but when new things are created it is very complex because they are not natural and they are made in a lab.See you!

Hi Cote
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion, but I also think that if we agree to use GMO have to use with caution
See you!
