Rice is a common
example of genetically modified organisms.
A genetically modified organism, or GMO, is an organism whose genetic material
has been purposely altered by man using genetic engineering to improve or
obtain desired results in the organism. These results are alterations that
would occur if following natural reproduction patterns. Many foods such as rice
are now being genetically modified to resist certain strains of disease so that
during the farming process, it is easier to produce. However studies have shown
adverse effects of consuming GMO products.
