When you bite into an apple, the taste is what stands out the most. The juices in your mouth, and rough but delicious inside, the smooth skin; it really is something that makes ones taste buds go wild. But what if the apple could taste better, be bigger, and all around be better for you? Well this is where genetically modified organisms (GMO's) come into play.
Genetically modified organisms are organisms whose genetic material has been deliberately altered. There is an altering to improve the being of animals, plants, and even for genetic research. It is easy to show this using the example of the fruit. Let's say there are two apple trees. One of the apple tress has been genetically modified, while the other has not been disturbed at all. With the apple tree that has not been disturbed, one would expect the typical apple. With the genetically modified apple tree, the apples would be better than the undisturbed trees apples.

There are a few ways to genetically modify plants. First, one way is to use a "gene gun." This gun is used to shoot DNA into plant cells. It is done in a unique way, where there are actual pellets that are shot into the gene cell. The trick was to find a way to just shoot it into the cell, and make sure it didn't go completely through the cell. John Sanford invented this gun in the 1980s and in 1987 it was nationally accepted. This gun was vital in shooting corn with new genes by 1990. The way to genetically modify plants before the gene gun was introduced was by taking advantage of agrobacterium. Angrobacterium is a bacterium that takes advantage of...
