Genetic Modification of Food Isaac Wecht & TJ Martinez  Period 6
Basic Principles of Genetics ,[object Object]
 If there is a co-dominance in an offspring then neither of the alleles will be masked. For example, a chicken with co-dominant alleles might have both black and white feathers.
 If an allele of a parent with black hair and an allele of a parent with blonde hair mix, then theoffspring of those two parents will have black hair because black is dominant to blonde. ,[object Object]
 Information we learned from this project  helps us understand more about how humans develop from eggs. It can also help us learn more about what causes the body to create certain diseases and how we can treat them.
 The GINA law passed on May 21 2008 by President Bush protects people from genetic discrimination. It says that health care and businesses can not discriminate based on a person’s genetic information.   ,[object Object]
Modification of foods ,[object Object]
 One protester against modifying foods is University of Texas law professor, Thomas McGarity. He is outraged that foods such as corn and soybeans have been modified but the information is not passed on to consumers. Why the heck are we making these “foods”?  Thomas asks.,[object Object]
 Another reason for farmers to modify their crops could be that they  need to enhance their plants and animals  so that they can sell them for more. In order to do this they have modify the animals so that they can grow bigger and will be worth more money.
 Whether the modification of foods is good or bad it’s, growing rapidly on United States farms. As showen in the chart above. ,[object Object]

  • 12. Conclusion In conclusion, the modification of foods is definitely, a helpful tool for farmers. For intense, they can use it to make their corps larger or protect them from bugs and other pests. The only questions they need to ask is, is this ethical? Will these modifications be harmful to the humans that consume those crops that have been modified? I believe that these modifications are coming and are going to change the foods we eat greatly. But the question still remands, is it for the better?
