Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs is not a new term for general public, it has been now 30 years since GMOs commercialized and now become part of our daily life, from food to medicine there are dozens of products where has been modified to get more effective results from them. But with the growth of information knowledge among general population, it is become the question that is genetically modified organisms like food, medicine, crops and even animals are safe for human beings or not and what are the pros and cons of genetically modified organisms?
Genetically Modified Organisms is a technology or a method in which the organism’s genes has been changed. In simple words transfer of DNA from one living body to another or modified the DNA through different method is known as genetically modified organisms. GMOs could be done for number of reasons, like to produce different types of crops, milk from cow and modified food to introduce new type of foods and taste. For example GMO food like farmed fish, meat eggs and other dairy products which has been made through farmed milk, corn and soy products, packaged and restaurant food and even sugar etc. The reasons of making GMOs food is to increase the life, taste and flavor of original food.
An organism which contain DNA from another organism is known as transgenic organism. An transgenic organisms contain two DNA; its own and the second one from another organism. There is transgenic animals, food and crops which are modified through GMOs technology for number of reasons, for example goats are modified in such ways do that its milk can help to kill the virus of cancer from human body. There are different types of transgenic mices like knockout mice and humanized mice in which human DNA has been transferred to their body for research purposes. Humanized mice is used for medical research to invent the treatments for HIV, AIDS, cancers etc.
