    genetically modified seeds that lead to larger crop yields and eventually larger profits for farmers‚ Monsanto has a moral obligation to farmers who have grown crops and saved seeds for the next crop for hundreds of years before Monsanto began changing the genetic makeup of the seed. Farmers should not feel obligated to Monsanto as they have manipulated the future of farming through patent protection of intellectual property. Some thoughts should be discussed regarding Monsanto’s position; the comparison of

    the every GM crop is tested for health effects in in-depth analysis. They are required to make sure that foods meet specific federal safety standards. - They compare a GM plant with regularly bred plants to see if the new gene changes a plant’s genetic makeup and nutritional value. - If protein is the made from the new gene it is tested in high amounts by feeding it to animals. They test it the chemistry of the new protein against 500 known allergens to see if it could produce an allergy. - Industries

    Key innovation in human evolution is the development of bipedalism and gradual increase in size of brains. The evolution might have occurred due to change in climate and environment which lead to reduction and replacement of trees with grasslands. Due to presence of large numbers of trees‚ it was easier for our ancestors to have quadrupedalism instead of bipedalism‚ so that they can climb on trees and move from one place to another. But with the decrease in number of trees‚ requirement for bipedalism

    The external environment’s effects upon genes can influence disease‚ and some of these effects can be inherited in humans. Studies investigating how environmental factors impact the genetics of an individual’s offspring are difficult to design. However‚ in certain parts of the world in which social systems are highly centralized‚ environmental information that might have influenced families can be obtained. For example‚ Swedish scientists recently conducted investigations examining whether nutrition
