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)

If you were writing an essay on the historical development of genetically-modified vegetables, which research source listed below is MOST likely to be unbiased, accurate, and credible?ResponsesA a book written by a company that produces genetically modified vegetables for profita book written by a company that produces genetically modified vegetables for profitB a book written by a freelance author whose previous books were about other scientific issuesa book written by a freelance author whose previous books were about other scientific issuesC a book written by a woman who believes she got sick from eating genetically modified vegetablesa book written by a woman who believes she got sick from eating genetically modified vegetablesD a book written by a scientist who helped develop the technology to genetically modify vegetables

Students should be able to explain the potential benefits and risksof genetic engineering in agriculture and in medicine and that somepeople have objections

1. GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Definition, Mechanism, and Factors Affecting It: - Definition: A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits than previous methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding[1]. - Mechanism: The process of creating a GMO involves the manipulation of an organism's DNA to achieve desired traits. This can involve the addition of DNA from another organism, or the alteration of the organism's own DNA[2]. - Factors Affecting It: Factors that can affect the development and use of GMOs include technological limitations, ethical considerations, legal and regulatory controls, and public perception[3]. 2. Evolution Definition, Mechanism, and Factors Affecting It: - Definition: Evolution is the process by which species of organisms undergo change over time through the gradual accumulation of small genetic variations. This process leads to the diversification of life on earth from common ancestors[4]. - Mechanism: The primary mechanisms of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection[5]. - Factors Affecting It: Factors that can affect evolution include environmental changes, population size, mating patterns, and the rate of mutation[6]. 3. Relation between GMO and Evolution Based on Evidence: - The creation of GMOs can be seen as a form of directed evolution, where humans are the selective force. This is in contrast to natural evolution, which occurs without human intervention[7]. - GMOs can potentially influence the course of natural evolution. For example, if a GMO with a beneficial trait were to interbreed with wild relatives, this could lead to the spread of the new trait in the wild population[8]. - There is ongoing research into the potential impacts of GMOs on natural ecosystems and the organisms within them, including potential impacts on evolutionary processes[9].
