Which are the consequenses of the genetically modified products (GMP) in the environment???

Answer 1

Yea, and some gene taken from fish and put into tomato to repel the insects. Wanna eat that?

For some reason my government did not allow the genetically modified soya to be imported from USA... In Europe it is obligatory for that to be labeled and given to one's own choice as cheaper food, while here it is not.

Consequences: unknown on the long run

The problem with these hybrids is that man has to be giving them artificial breathing for them to live... That is so non macrobiotic :P

In my country the best quality raspberry is being grown (Lets not use the word: produced), although Poland and Chile are ahead in production. I read a comment from a Dutch technician that our raspberry could change the size and taste, to appeal more to the market. Probably he meant color and shape too...

Answer 2

Genetically modified products or GMP in short is some thing very new for us. In last few years our scientists in the race to increase production, control pests, diseases and other genetic problems in plants and animals have come up by adding genes from some othe plant or animal so as to control the problem.

This was earlier done by nature in a slow process which we call evolution where a plant or animal used to change and adopt to new conditions very slowly. It is and was even earlier invasion by a new species.

Now, the new development or GMP has been developed by our scientists where they are adding a new gene to any plant or animal but we do not know what will be its effect in long run. When some thing happens very slowly it does not have that big a negative impact but when some thing happens suddenly it will surely have some. Every thing in the environment changes acording to the slow change and they have enough chance to adopt the changes but it is not same here.

So since this is a very new science and we will come to know of its effect only after may be 30 to 50 years. May be it will be very good or may be it will become an invasive specie and cause of destruction.

So, wait and see but remember when ever we have tried to invade on natures work the consequenses have normally been bad.

Superior products, more disease resistant food supplies and a greater yield. This was done for Russian wheats during the 1940s and nobody ever protested then as the yields improved and saved a lot of people from starving. We have just learned how to speed up the process. Another example is a mule, which is a cross breed of a horse and a donkey. Read more scientific articles and learn the facts. Some are good and some are bad, but we won't learn if we don't try. There is a natural form of cross breeding among the plants as pollen from one will transfer to another. Best wishes

Answer 4

Depends on what products they are, and how they are used. Generally speaking, genetically altered organisms should create different selective pressures on organisms that they are involved with in their environment. If you think about this for a little bit it becomes quite scary. BUT slective bred plants to produce larger crops seems to be a great idea, along with inserting BT into corn and other foods. Now there is a point to were modifying organisms might cross the line.

Answer 5

More people eat oranges, as Navel Oranges don't have seeds.
Most people don't plant their orange seeds anyway.
