In this activity, you need to find reliable Internet or library sources about genetic modification. You will also apply what you have already learned in the lesson. You need to find out how and why people first genetically modified living things. Next, you should research newer ways to genetically modify living things. What are their pros and cons? What ethical concerns do people have about changing the genes of living things? After you have finished your research, you will write an essay to summarize what you learned. Your essay should also give your opinion about GMO technology.For this topic, you should use only information from reliable sources. Look for websites whose URLs end in .org, .gov, or .edu. Most of these websites are not trying to sell you something. Their purpose is to inform people. Also look for URLs that include abbreviations for agencies related to food and/or health — such as the FDA, USDA, and NIH. Universities that teach agriculture are also good sources of reliable information. Many of these universities employ GMO experts.In part 1, you will find websites with information you can use. The questions in part 2 will help you take notes. In part 3, you will write an essay about whether humans should or should not continue changing living things through genetic modification.Part 1: Identifying Sources (5 points)1. List at least five terms you can use as words in your search. (2 points)2. Identify three websites you will use to start your research. If you use additional websites to complete the research questions in part 2, add them to this list. Cross out any websites that don't end up helping you complete the activity. (3 points)

Genetic modification (GM) is a process used to alter the DNA of plants to make them more nutritious and easier to grow. In African countries, the sweet potato was modified to be resistant to a common virus that used to destroy the harvest. In Asian countries, rice was modified with increased iron and vitamins to alleviate malnutrition. Because the technology is new, researchers have worried that genetically modified foods can have harmful effects on the human body. Scientists have emphasized the importance of studying each GM food. For example, a study of GM tomatoes showed that inserting kanr genes into a tomato did not result in increased toxicity in the tomatoes. So far, each GM food on the market has been rigorously tested to ensure they meet safety standards.Which choice best states the main idea of the text?GM foods pose a risk because modified foods can be toxic and harmful to the human body.eliminateWhile GM foods are improved by the modification, they need to be rigorously tested before they are allowed on the market.eliminateGenetic modification is a new technology that has been used to grow virus-resistant sweet potatoes and vitamin-fortified rice.eliminateA study of GM tomatoes is notable because it found that inserting kanr genes into tomatoes did not result in increased toxicity.
