Essays on Agriculture

Friday by Robert A. Heinlein is a novel about a genetically modified human named Friday Baldwin who is an artificial being. Friday acts as a self-sufficient "war messenger" for a clandestine private entity that is part spy agency, part militia organization, and part think tank. She is an artificial human...

The presence of biodiversity The presence of various species of organisms in a given location is referred to as biodiversity. A natural area inhabited by a community of plants, animals, and other living things can be defined as such. Every plant species makes a distinct contribution to ecosystems. Although biodiversity varies...

According to analysts, the oil sands in Alberta, Canada have a major effect on both the climate and the country's economic position. The mining of tar sands in Alberta, for example, results in the loss of forest cover, reducing the frequency of rains in the area. Furthermore, gases produced by...

The Question of Genetic Predispositions The question of whether two individuals with identical genetic predispositions will have the same characteristics and traits appears to be unending. The advent of several scientific theories that place character and personality at the center of genetic lineage appears to have sparked this debate. Indeed, a...

Genetic modification is the effective use of modern molecular biology and technologies to introduce new and beneficial characteristics or superior traits into world beings. Gene science, according to Lindahl and Linder (2013), is a valuable instrument of a research method in which attractive qualities from a single organism's Deoxyribonucleic acid...

Researchers also created a genetic modification strategy that allows bacteria that are drug-resistant to be deemed drug-susceptible for the first time. This strategy of combating antibiotic resistance seems to be less expensive than other recent drug discovery methods. At the moment, scientists will use biosynthetic bacteria machines to produce antibiotics...

A genetically modified organism (GMO) A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a microbe, animal, or plant whose genome has been modified by a genetic modification technique. In agriculture, GMOs are typically designed to exhibit hybrid characteristics, especially enhanced commodity shelf life, tolerance to harsh weather conditions, pests and herbicides, and increased...

The development of genetic engineering techniques led to the increase of a heated controversy within the fields of agriculture and bioscience . Genetically modified plants, organisms, and animals have risen in popularity with an almost equal measure of proponents and opposers. The proponents of GMOs argue that the first objective...

Organisms and Biodiversity Organisms fluctuate depending on their adaptation and role in the environment. The role of a variety of species in their habitat is dictated by the ecological complexities and ecosystems. According to Bardgett and van der Putten, biodiversity plays a crucial position in developing a balance in which the...

The Debate Around Gene Patents The patents for human genes include patents for genes belonging to human beings acquired in the laboratory from the human body isolated and manipulated. It would be absurd to patent a gene that is already on the human body, but I think the mechanism leading to...

The First Instance of Gene Editing in Somatic Cells The first instance where gene editing is to be permitted is where the cells are guided to alter the genetic effects in somatic cells. According to Baltimore, Baylis, Berg, Daley, Doudna, Lander, and Winnacker (2015), these are cells that cannot be transmitted...

Biodiversity and Its Benefits Biodiversity is executed when there is a balance in the variety of the population of all species. Every participant in the ecosystem has a unique contribution and failure to co-exist is consequential for the rest. This paper discusses the benefits of biodiversity and the threats it is...
