What is Genetic Engineering?  

Genetic Engineering is the process of changing the DNA in an organism’s genome. It can also mean taking DNA from another organism and combining it with the DNA of that individual. It is used by scientists to enhance/modify the characteristics of an organism.

How does it work?

An example of this is insulin, a protein that helps regulate  the sugar levels in out blood. Insulin is normally produced in the pancreas, but in people with type one diabetes, there is a problem with producing insulin. People with diabetes have to inject insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels.

Am I for or against GMOs?  

I am neutral about the use of genetic engineering. GMO’s can be super beneficial in some ways, but in other, it can be harmful.

Benefits:

Agriculture

> Plants can have a higher extreme weather tolerance

> Can be used on different foods such as rice to raise the amount of vitamin A  

>  More productive farm animals [ Genes might be inserted into cattle to raise their milk yield ]  

Human Health

> Used for vaccines and medicines

> Identification of allergenic genes

Drawbacks:  

Environment

> The genes might end up in unexpected places  

> Can mutate with a harmful effect  

> Can have a negative impact on birds, insects, and other living creatures

 

Human Health

> Transfer of antibiotic resistance is possible

> Transfer of allergenic genes is possible

Wind will blow from one direction to another.

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
