Genetically Modified

Organisms.

• GMOs are genetically modified

organisms. Meaning that these are

products such as food that scientists

have modified to be bigger, or are a

different color.

• When you walk into a supermarket in Caracas, you will notice that the fruits and vegetables are different shape then the ones in the U.S.A. The color and the sizes are

• different because most of the products in the states are genetically modified.

• They look perfect and taste different then the ones here in Caracas.

• Scientists can transfer and recombine the

DNA of one organism, into another. For

example, Scientists can take a tomato,

small and green, and they can put the DNA

of another organism, making it big and red.

The USDA states that 80 percent of

American corn and 90 percent of American

soy and cotton crops are genetically

modified.
