  1. biotechnology. The impacts of genetically modified mosquitoes issue summary.
  2. What are GMOs?
  3. A. GMO, or genetically modified organism?
  4. Is a living thing whose genetic makeup has been changed
  5. or modified any plant, animal or microorganism that has its
  6. genetic material change.
  7. Visit GMO Scientists and engineers are able to alter their
  8. DNA or genes by genetic engineering.
  9. Through this technique, the overall composition of the organism is
  10. changed in somewhat of dysfunction as well.
  11. When scientists and engineers modify these organisms DNA, they mainly
  12. don't change anything about it.
  13. But instead they add to it precisely genes from other
  14. organisms. These new genes that are added now change some
  15. of the functions of the organism.
  16. What are G.
  17. M. S G.
  18. M s are genetically modified mosquitoes or mosquitoes that have
  19. been implanted with the genome bacteria.
  20. The main cause for scientists and engineers to create GMs
  21. was that they needed something to sabotage the species ability
  22. to reproduce these genetically modified mosquitoes have been readjust, readjusted
  23. to a safe feature for humans.
  24. For safety reasons, scientists have only created male GMs, the
  25. gender that doesn't bite humans.
  26. Genetically modified mosquitoes are starting to be recognized in some
  27. parts of the world, such as Florida, Brazil, the Cayman
  28. Islands and much more societal impact.
  29. What is the negative positive impact?
  30. Although genetically modified mosquitoes have increased the risk on society,
  31. they have shown progress.
  32. GMs were successful in reducing mosquito population and mosquito borne
  33. diseases by 80 to 95%.
  34. Mosquito borne illnesses are serious.
  35. Public health problem in society these days can't be more
  36. helpful at a time like this negative impact.
  37. Even though genetically modified mosquitoes have been highly praised and
  38. requested by scientists, there is still a potential risk for
  39. scientists, citizens and communities.
  40. Also, arguments say that enough testing and observation is not
  41. being established, which can result in consequences.
  42. Genetic modification might not work as intended to onto mosquitoes,
  43. which could theoretically increase the risk of those lives model.
  44. The process starts in the labs.
  45. Scientists with the DNA, the lethality and floors and mark
  46. maker's markers genes are added.
  47. The genes are then inserted in the genomes of mosquito
  48. eggs. The males and females are spread into the labs
  49. to raise a colony of GMO mosquitoes.
  50. The males are separated and freed into the environment.
  51. The males mate with females in the wild the offspring
  52. art form.
  53. They died due to lack of Tetra cylinder, which is
  54. used as an antidote in the lab.
  55. And there's no Tetris on thank you for watching our
  56. presentation.
