Genetically Modified Organisms- Not as bad as you think Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are organisms that are engineered to improve the original organism. Even though genetically modified organisms are seen as harmful to people and the organism, they also improve the organism and can make it better. There are many benefits that most people don’t realize about genetically modified organisms, and I believe that GMOs are good for people, instead of bad. One example of how genetically modified organisms are helpful is that GMOs improve resistance to insects and generate healthier crops.
Evolution, in common terms, is descent through genetic inheritance, with change in physical and biological characteristics. Evolutionary theory attempts to explain why we see so many species in world that seem so diverse and yet, have enough similarities that imply a common origin. There are various mechanisms by which evolution occurs, including natural selection, artificial selection, gene drift, etc., but in the end, evolution is process by which every single species that exists today, was derived from the last universal ancestor. This perpetual system of change and advancement, shapes the both the biotic and abiotic aspects of the environment, and results in the creation and advancement of the complex communities that inhabit the biosphere.
All organisms have specific adaptations which help survival. There are three categories of adaptations; structural, physiological, and behavioural. Over generations an organism might become so different from its ancestors that if they were put together they wouldn’t be capable of producing fertile offspring, creating a new subspecies. A similar thing may happen if one population is divided, then over time adapt to new surroundings. This process is called natural selection and can be found throughout any organism’s history, but can only occur if there is variation within a species.
Just like natural selection can be strong and occur, it can also get weaker and less visible. It replaces it with a useful tool from natural selection, accessing another part in their genes we didn’t know about. So, natural selection can be both good and bad. I like this part the most because it’s new and interesting. This article relates to what we have previously learned in class, such as the textbook (pg. 229-231 textbook) it asserts the definition of natural selection and the types of how they use natural selection in their environment.

The main aspects of Darwin’s Natural selection is about living organisms with suitable and inheritable traits for the survival and reproduction of new species. Offsprings that inherit better traits have an improve the population. For example; a giraffe will a long neck because it eats from tall trees. It is because of the tall trees( environment) that the Giraffe eventually evolves long neck as a mechanism for survival. By leaving an impact on their physical and social environment, organisms may affect the evolution of their own descendants, quite apart from changing the conditions for themselves.
Evolution is a theory, an idea intended to explain something with lots of evidence. According to Merriam-Webster, Evolution is the process by which new species or populations of living things develop from preexisting forms through successive generations (Evolution, 2017). In other words, species have changed or developed over time from one simple form to something more complex. The change its self allows the organism to be more adaptable to its surroundings and will help it survive in its environment which can then create more offspring.
Evolution is the process of change over time. It can be split in two questions, how did something living come from something that was not alive? And, how did things that were already living turn into other living things? Natural selection is when the “breeder: is the environment. This belief of natural selection came from Charles Darwin.
Evolution is the process of genetic change in a population over generations. Natural selection, an agent of evolutionary change, is differential reproduction based on genetic constitution. Natural selection results in adaptation and acts on phenotype, which is the expression of genotype due to environmental effects. An adapted individual is one that is well adjusted to succeed in its environment.
Imagine what would happen if we lived in a world where water was kept 8 feet off the ground and there was absolutely no way you could get it if you weren’t tall enough. Most likely, the short people would die off. The taller ones would multiply, and before long, instead of a population of people of all sizes, you would have a population of only tall people. Living things that are best suited, or adapted, to their environment survive and multiply. Those that are not, are unable to survive.
This can lead to genetic defects, it limits genetic diversity, and it can be taken to very extreme levels. ` To start us off, genetically engineering a baby can be very unsafe for it and lead to genetic defects. Scientists don’t know everything about the human body yet, and because of this, if we end up modifying something, it could end up affecting something important that we didn’t know about. We also can’t predict the outcome of the modification yet. Scientists could be able to possibly knock out a disease out of our genetic code, but since we don’t
According to Wikipedia, Evolution is change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules. As the opposition side, we believe evolution is a fiction.
When placed in an unknown environment, animals must adapt and evolve to survive in the harsh conditions. Some animals have a harder time surviving in unknown environments than others, therefore they die. Survival of the fittest states that only the best of the best will survive. Over time, animals go through evolution: the change of inherited traits over successive generations. Without adversity, animals would not change or adapt.
One Thousand and One Nights or The Arabian Nights in the English translation, is a collection of texts and folktales compiled during the Arabic Islamic period in the Middle Eastern area. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer. Throughout the Arabian Nights the initial frame story is of the Sultan Shahryar 's wife Scheherazade telling him stories for a 1,001 night. This is not only for her survival, but for the safety of the other woman. Each tale has its own themes, but all of the stories have a moral.
A disadvantage of artificial selection is stated on, “Lee County Students”, saying that “However, genetic modification is highly controversial.” This is a disadvantage because artificial selection is not fully proven to work, and there are not many studies that show it works easily. Another disadvantage of artificial selection is an unexpected result. There are many different outcomes of artificial selection and can be a surprise to the organism and owner, stated on “Pros and Cons of Artificial Selection”. A final disadvantage of artificial selection is shortened life.
