In October 2002, the government of the African nation of Zambia announced that it was refusing to distribute 15,000 tons of corn donated by the United States, enough corn to feed 2.5 million Zambians for three weeks. The government rejected the corn because it was likely to contain genetically modified kernels. The government made the decision after its scientific advisers concluded that the studies of the health risks posed by GM crops “are inconclusive.” Do you agree with Zambia’s decision to turn away the corn? Why or why not? In your answer, consider that at the time, Zambia was facing food shortages, and 35,000 Zambians were expected to starve to death over the next six months. How do the risks posed by GM crops compare to the risk of starvation?
Which of the following should receive the least consideration when evaluating a scientiﬁc claim? (a) the scientiﬁc credentials of the person making the claim (b) your personal beliefs and values (c) whether the study supporting the claim has been published in a peer-reviewed scientiﬁc journal (d) whether the study supporting the claim meets the standards of the scientiﬁc method (e) any possible biases of the person making the claim
A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light. How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?
Food plants or crops, which have been genetically altered, are known as genetically modified foods. The genetic alteration is meant to make it commercially competitive, yet it is not without environmental and ethical concerns and dilemmas.

Hello I just need an opinion on my answer to the question " How can biotechnology can change the lives of people." Please state if ypur agreed with my statement. If not, please make amend on my statement. Thank you very much... "The biotechnological application in fisheries and aquaculture can change people's lives to meet the demands for food production. Such application can also remedy the ecosystem imbalances that natural and human interferences have caused. Scientific techniques have been applied to fish breeding, making fish feed formulation, curing fish diseases, mitigation of damage to the aquatic environment, and species identification-characterization. One example of biotechnology's contributions to the aquaculture industry is depicted in the video clip "Biotechnology: Changing Lives in Asia-Pacific" by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in which the Thai shrimp industry was devastated by Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) caused by pathogenic bacteria,…
Nanotechnology can provide alternatives to early detection of cancer cells, drug delivery, and injectable vaccines that to this day rely on healthcare professionals to administer. What are the benefits and cost of it? Which do you think is more equitable in its impact? (benefit or cost) Why?
Much of the controversy over genetically engineered foods has centered on whether special labeling should be required on all products made from genetically modified crops. Some people have advocated labeling that identifies the product as having been made from genetically modified plants. Others have argued that food labeling should be required to identify only the ingredients, not the process by which they were produced. Choose a side in this issue and justify your stand.
At present, only a very small proportion of genetically modified foods must be labelled. Some consumer advocates are urging the federal government to label all foods that contain genetically modified material, so that consumers may choose whether to purchase them or not. What do should mandate? Provide evidence for your answer. you believe the government
