1. Genetically Modified Plants
In Laymans terms:
How We Will All Die by Plants (According to Science)
By Nicole Lee and Marvi Cruz
2. So, What Is a Genetically Modified Plant?
Its not Venus flytraps consuming humans whole (though)
A genetically modified plant, or also known as genetically modified
food (GMO), has had their DNA genetically engineered, and people
think for the better.
These touch-ups to genetic makeup usually induce a change in their
overall being.
For example, sweet peppers, when genetically modified, can be
resistant to viruses.
3. Genes from GMO to Non-Genetically Modified Foods
How does this happen exactly?
Well, lets assume theres a genetically modified plant around these
non-genetically modified plant.
Then, the pollen from the GMO plant goes into the non-GMO
plant.
Then, that plants starts to grow with those new genes due to cross
pollination.
4. From Species to Species
To plant species to animal species?
This is possible because, as most people know, animal species
(including humans) ingest these genes.
The effects, after eating the GMO foods for a long time, have yet
to be determined but there have been concerns about allergens to
the food appearing.
5. Wont Someone Think of the Animals?
The effects when humans eat are unknown. But, there risks:
Allergies: A new gene in a plant can create an allergen that can be
deadly.
Unknown: Some people say its barking bad that we dont know the
effects but some are just shrugging it off.
6. Genes on the Weeds
SUPER SAIYAN WEEDS.
In all seriousness, when the weeds have the transferred genes from
the genetically modified plants and they become stronger.
These super saiyan weeds can invade farms and become difficult to
get rid of.
7. Whats the Concern About These Things?
There are a numerous amount of benefits to genetically modified
foods but, people are more concerned about the concerns of
it.
The creation of unknown allergens.
Or toxic environments.
Freaky super weeds.
Spread of antibiotic resistance because DNA wont be able to break
down ailmentary tract, allowing Gut bacteria to take up
genes.
