6. what are the benefits of using GMOS?
ResponderEliminarthe principal purpose of the GMOS is to create an advantages of altered food for consumers and producers to benefit humans, because it doesn't occurs in nature but it can be a bit expensive.
the crop growers will benefit from seeds, and that seeds will have a kind of resistance of many bacterias, so the vegetable or fruit is growing will be healthy and clean. now many companies started to produce altered food for human consume.
juan josé cubillos.
I am agree with Juan Jose, the GMO products help us a lot, some of the chemicals that this products have are good for pur healthy.
EliminarI think that's ok. Some bacterias are very dangerous for the human being, so GMOs are very important, as they are kind of resistant to them.
EliminarNumber 1: Should be OMG labeled?
ResponderEliminarThis part of the video explain us about a process which is happening in United States, that wants to label OMG product, some people who is in this case say that label OMG can confuse a lot the consumer, and big food companies don´t want to label OMG.

ResponderEliminar9. How were GMOs created?
ResponderEliminarBiochemical Paul Byrd was first modified DNA molecules in 1972 to create a GMO combination of a piece of DNA with another . In order to combine the DNA , scientists use different types of mechanisms such as mutation or insertion , which convert genetic information.
In 1992 , China was the first country to commercialized GMOs.
Number 5. Are GMOs safety to consume?
ResponderEliminarThe people things that the chemicals that this kind of food is very dangerous for people and the environment and in USA the food and drugs arent safety for people an d the scientist decide to investigate more about the things that the people is eating. Thhis kind of food produces alergical problems in humans but some industries thinks that this GMOs are safe to the life.
I think that the alejandros answer is very interesting and short but very concluse y think that the short pharagraph that he explain us is the most complete because he open the conversations about GMOs
Juan Sebastian Bermudez Velez 9H
What Sebastian says is right, but this products have a very deep investigation trying to find healthy products and also in the face of the product always there is some advices for the people that consume that product.
EliminarI think that Bermudez is right, beacause the chemical products that laboratories use in the food aren't always very safe, and scientist should carry out an exhaustive investigation to all GMO to ensure the safety of the consumer.
EliminarNicolas Camacho 9H/#7
ResponderEliminarThis GMO products are very useful in the USA, since 1996 this genetically modify crops had increased a lot, products like: Corn, Canola, Papaya, alfalfa, etc. The stadistics say that three quarters of all food have at less 1 genetically modify ingredient, products like: chips, cookies, crackers, etc. In 2015 the stadistics says that almost the %88 of the crops are GMO crops, specificaly corn and soybean crops.
You made a really good point of view, however I am the kind of person who think food is better without chemicals and more if they are just created to get billions of dollars.
EliminarI agree with you García i preferí the normal food and i will say here what i wrote down scientists must be careful, because it is our future and they should not think about their own profit
EliminarI don't really care to eat GMOs as they have higher nutritional values. Otherwise, GMOs have pesticides, and they can affect your health.
Eliminar#10: What Are GMOs?
ResponderEliminarWith Genetical Modified Organisms, scientist modify animal`s and plant´s microorganisms genetically by high engineering advances. This is possible because engineers edit the genome. In 20th, scientists decided to try bacteria microorganisms in food, such as tomatoes and others, however most of tomatoes got rotten and GMOs became a hot potato in United States.
#3: Who Controls the MGOs?
Genetical modified seeds are quite valuable and its fabrication can give companies billions of dollars, However there are a lot of mysteries about the real owner.
Montano´s company creates products based on this seeds which permits people to make things easier and in a better way, one of those products is called, herbicide seeds and it is used to kill plagues in the environment . Finally seeds´s treatment requires farmers to purchase their products.
Att: Juan Esteban García
Classmate´s opinio:
Bermudez´s opinion is well enough, and I consider his topic is so interesting because scientists look GMOs just as the perfect way to look for money easily, but they never get to think about the risks their products can provide to customers.
I am not sure about of it is going to be better or worse for human kind, may be some modified products will help us but others wont be useful,scientists must be careful about what they are going to create.
Eliminar6. Who manufactures GMOs ?
ResponderEliminarThere are six important companies which control the world of seeds and biotechnology industries
Monsanto
Du pont
Dow
Syngenta
Bayer
Monsanto is the biggest company aro une the world, and the most important modified seeds producer, it has evoled from sell food and it became the leader of agriculture evolution, it was founded 115 years ago, in 1901 by john Francis queeny, missouri, united states, it's value is about 15 billion dollars

ResponderEliminar2:Where are GMOs banned?.
ResponderEliminar-In some supermarket chains.
-In some fast food chains.
-In 19 European Countries (not based in video).
-In Countries like Norway, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
#4. do GMO's affect the enviroment?
ResponderEliminarthe main concern that farmers have is that they think the altered genes can spread to traditional crops, throught airborne polen, one feature benefit is that they are resistant to pests so they don't need to be sprayed with pestiside, another argument is that the use of agrochemicals has an unintended impact on the enviroment and biodiversity.
