The Disadvantages of Genetically Modified Crops
1. Cross Contamination
The pollen from the genetically modified plants is also contaminated. When this pollen is around other plants, even things like grass or weeds, they cross pollinate. This could develop “superweeds” that have the same resistance properties as the crops.
2. Allergies On The Rise
Ever since the introduction of GMO foods, the amount of childhood food allergies has risen significantly. The exact link to GMO has not yet been found, but many believe this is due to insufficient research in the area.
3. Less Effective Antibiotics
The crops that have been genetically modified have antibiotic properties put into them in order to make them immune to certain diseases. When you eat these foods these properties are left in your body and can make many antibiotics less effective
multiple ovulation embryo transfer technology
is full form of MOET
it is useful in...
cow is administered hormones with FSH like activity to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation.
The cow produces 6-8 eggs instead of one.
mating is done either with an elite bull or artificial insemination is carried out.
When the fertilised eggs attain 8-32 cells stage , they are non surgically removed and transferred to a serrogate mother.
The genetic mother can now be attain super ovulation
