BIOL102 ERAU GMO’s benefits on livestock

I would like to discuss the following topics and questions:

• Explain how GMOs are created.
• What is the purpose of genetically engineering crops and what are the benefits?
• Are foods that contain GMOs safe for human consumption?
• Are there any regulations on genetically modified crops?
• What is the future of genetically engineering food crops? I am attaching my proposal sent to my professor: My project will be on the subject of GMO’s or genetically modified
  organisms. Because this is such a broad subject, the project will be
  narrowed down to the use of GMO’s on crops and livestock that humans
  will consume.
  Course Connections:
  Module Objective/ Learning Outcome – Demonstrate factual knowledge of genetics.
  My
  project is going to go into detail about what GMO’s are and how they
  are created. Creating GMO’s involves using genetic engineering to modify
  an organism’s DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid which is basically the
  molecule of life.
  Module objective/Learning Outcome – Recognize the inescapable relationship between society and the environment.
  Since
  my project is being narrowed down to the use of GMO’s in products that
  humans consume such as livestock and crops, the relationship with
  society and the environment for this project will deal with a growing
  population and dwindling resources.
  Real World Connections:
  As I
  stated above, Earth’s human population is growing and with that comes an
  increase in demand for food. A growing population also means that we
  have to use more land to house the increased numbers. This creates less
  available land for growing crops and raising livestock.
  The good news
  is that with technology and research, we have been able to come up with
  a solution to help minimize the problem. The use of GMO’s allows crops
  and livestock to grow faster and bigger. The problem is that there might
  be health affects on people who consume them.
