Why the fear of GM Crops?
Jim Webster wrote: .... Here are some differences that I could think in 5 minutes the GM scenario would have a large number of crop varieties or even a large number of crops with several genes in common. so what, all varieties of the same species have over 99% of the same genes in common. They have to have virtually all of their genes in common or they will not crossbreed which is a good rule of thumb definition of a species. ... 99.999999% similarity might mean the differencen between a disesase resistant wheat and one that is a total failure. I think you should go back and study your genetics and pland breeding. |
