Put a smile face if the statement given is a BENEFIT while sad face if it is a RISK from the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

1. Crops like potato, tomato, soybean and rice are currently being genetically engineered to obtain new strains with better nutritional qualities and increased yield.

2. Genetic engineering in food can be used to produce totally the same or identical substances such as proteins and other food nutrients.

3. Positive genetic engineering deals with enhancing the positive traits in an individual like increasing longevity or human capacity while negative genetic engineering deals with the suppression of negative traits in human beings like certain genetic diseases.

4. Genetic engineering in food involves the contamination of genes in crops.

5. While increasing the immunity to diseases in plants, the resistance genes may get transferred to the harmful pathogens.

6. Genetic engineering can hamper the diversity in organisms.

7. The genetic modification of foods can be used to increase their medicinal value, thus making edible vaccines available.​
