MVCC Genetically Modified Food & Organisms in Grocery Stores Discussion
I’m trying to learn for my Biology class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
Genetically modified foods (GM) or Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are found all over our grocery stores. There are many proponents of eating GMOs and there are many opposed to eating them. For examples and some laughs, watch this video before proceeding with the assignment.
Now do some research on the safety of GMOs using course materials (book, videos, powerpoints) and an outside, reliable, scientific source. After doing your research, write a 250-word response to the people in the Jimmy Kimel video. Either help them defend their opposition to GMOs or explain why they should not be worried about eating GMOs.
Remember to:
- Cite your sources (at least one scientifically reliable source). Some reliable scientific websites are: National Geographic, PBS, Discovery, Smithsonian, New Scientist, Nature, Scientific American, Science Daily, New Science, The Guardian, Science News, Biology News, Popular Science, The New York Times Science Section, The Scientist.
- Use your own words.
