Now Genetic engineering.

This one is much easier and shorter

-A scientist wants to put a quality from one species into another.
-they locate the desired quality (gene) and literally cut it out.
-Then they place it in another organisms nucleolus by three means
-The gene gun- coat small pieces of gold with the gene and literally shoot the cell. Little pieces of gold will penetrate the nucleus… job done
-The most used means is virus’s and bacteria. Look up how a virus works.
-and the last is to place the target cell in a solution of the Gene and run an electric current through it. The electricity increases the permeability of the cell allowing the gene to enter.

Now I’ll highlight the difference:

GM—adding a new Gene

Breeding—is selecting the desired allele, no new gene’s

The most important thing is that a new gene is added. This is very dangerous. I don’t know your understanding of genetics but 1 gene does not code for one protein. In fact the human genome is only 30 000 genes and the human body has over 200 000 proteins. This relationship is only possible if genes interact to produce some proteins.
The unfortunate fact is that we cannot predict the effects of the gene interaction. The only effect we can predict (and the only thing they look for) is the desired trait.

You might be interested in the lack of testing done to these crops b4 they are allowed to be grown, sold and consumed. In the USA there is none! They are seen as “equivalent”

I am 110% opposed to GMO food crops! My opposition rests on their safety and their effect to biodiversity.

I will answer any questions you have. But I ask that you please start a thread.
