Superfoods: Genetic Modification of Food
Preview: Hear it

Superfoods Genetic Modification of Foods explains how genetic engineering has led to artificial selection and the selective breeding of animals and crops. Learn about cloning, how genes are inherited, and how scientists insert genes from one organism into the DNA of another. Consider whether or not growth hormones should be given to cows to increase their milk yield and used to produce super salmon. Discuss the issues surrounding crosspollination, how genetically modified crops affect wildlife, and the possibility of using genetically modified oilcrops to replace fossil fuels.
