    1. The document describes a student's conceptualization of a genetically modified corn as part of a school assignment. 2. The GMO corn is modified to be pesticide resistant through expression of a pesticide gene, allowing it to be more productive than ordinary corn. 3. The student believes this GMO could positively impact society by reducing damage from corn pests like the Asiatic corn borer, helping poor farmers increase harvests without using more pesticide. However, long term environmental impacts of GMOs are still unknown due to the newness of the technology.

    Instructions: On the box provided, draw a possible GMO. In conceptualizing a GMO, think of

    the features or characteristics that you imagine is possesses and its potential impacts on society.

    Be ready to share your output in class. Answer the question that follow.

    Questions:

    1. What is your GMO, its modified characteristics and literatures?

    My GMO is a corn, its physical properties are just like an ordinary corn. However, its modification
    involves insect pest sensitivity, which attained through pesticide gene expression and it has a higher
    productivity than a usual corn.

    2. In what ways do you think this GMO can positively impact society?

    Amongst the most hazardous corn farming pest species in the country is the Asiatic corn-borer, Ostrinia
    furnacalis. The effects of such pests are reduced by this GM corn. The plant also provides a practical and
    environment friendly substitute for inadequate corn farmers to increase their harvest while fighting
    poverty without reducing the use of pesticide. This process impacts the environment conservation and
    the development of the agriculture countries.

    3. What ethical issues or concerns may arise as a result of the GMO?

    The possibilities of damage to the environment is yet another ethical issue for GM crops. Sadly, we don’t
    know much on the environmental impacts of GM crop manufacturing process, because the innovation
    remains relatively new. Long-term test are over for decades and most researches on genetically
    modified crops concentrate on the short- term effects of innovation.
