GMO

 

genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.

Most of the research that tells that GMOs are safe has been performed by biotechnology companies.  Some reviews say GMOs are as safe as the normal food. 

GM foods are foods that come from organisms whose genetic material or you can call it DNA has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. The technology is sometimes called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”. 

Currently available GM foods are mostly from plants, but in the future foods derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are more likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance of herbicides. GM foods can also allow for reductions in food prices through reliability.

In the future, GMO could be modifying the nutrient content of food, reducing its allergenic potential or improving the efficiency of food production systems.

GMO can´t make more of them, that is why they win lots of money.  If you want more seeds you will have to buy them.  It is not like for example: Watermelon, their seeds can be used to make more watermelons.  GMOs can´t.
