Document Summary
Learning objectives: understand traditional approaches to improving crops through breeding, be aware of the trade-off between agricultural productivity and genetic diversity that exists with traditional breeding, understand key similarities and differences between genetic engineering and traditional breeding. Illegal planting genetically modified in his field purpose where the wind: brought out social and economic problems in the way we handle and sell gmo products. Those seeds that were discarded next to the camps were a subset of the variation in the forest. The first initial step in growing our food likely involved in selection of gene pool in the varieties. They would have traits that were more desirable to us: known as traditional breeding. Traditional breeding selects from among combinations of genes that come together on their own: whereas, genetic engineering creates novel combinations of very different species. Traditional breeding changes organisms through processes of selection: whereas, genetic engineering is more close to the process of mutation.
