The Neolithic Revolution was a result of the transition from foraging nomads to producers in more settled civilizations in 10,000 B.C. (Bocquet-Appel, 2011) where present day Iraq is located (Prakash, 2001). The change to a more sedentary lifestyle is speculated to be in part due…
Around the world, there has been a difference of opinions on the idea of modified foods. Since modified foods have only been recently introduced, people are skeptical about modified foods being beneficial to one’s health long term wise or not. Throughout the world, there are…
As the world population increases the demand for food also increases. Many countries are not able to produce enough food to sustain their population. Food takes time to grow before it can be consumed and a hungry population cannot wait for that apple to ripen…
Do you ever think about the food you eat? What chemicals might be in them and if it is truly safe to eat? Those questions are the kind of questions experts argue about genetically modified food. Those who are supporting the new technology mention that…
Genetically Modified organisms are foods manufactured by introducing genetic material or DNA for different organisms through a process called genetic engineering(GMOs) good that have been modified through this process is rice, corn and wheat the list continues but they are at a major…
In the midwest, specifically Illinois, we produce and consume a wide variety of agricultural products. This means that most of the meals we sit down and eat at the dinner table on a daily basis contain genetically modified organisms (GMO). While many of us eat…
Genetically Modified Foods (GM foods) are foods from plants and animals that have had their DNA edited or changed using the methods of Genetic Modification, therefore living organisms. The aim of these methods is or are to improve the tastes, therefore the qualities of these…
Genetically modified food and crops are introduced many years ago, and they are producing GMO’s which are benefiting the world by their potent nature of improving yield, nutritional content and making food chemical free, that no insecticides and pesticides are used in production of…
Genetically modification safety has remained a mystery since its development in 1973 (Rangel, 2015). Scientists and various organizations have performed a wide range of experiments to examine the safeness of the issue of genetically modified food (GMF). The experiment results show that not only is…
As Rifkin had said, “Many of the genetically modified foods will be safe, I’m sure. Will most of them be safe? Nobody knows”, it is quite true. In 2018, Dr. Mehmet Oz had invited guests to debate in his show on the topic of “Genetically…

Abstract Genetically modified organism or GMO is an organism that has had its DNA altered or modified in some way through genetic engineering. In most cases, GMOs have been altered with DNA from another organism, be it a bacterium, plant, virus, or animal; these organisms…
Introduction Mathematical modeling is a widely used practice in almost all branches of modern science. One of the most popular mathematical methods of statistical analysis and development of simple models is linear regression, which finds application in solving of the vast diversity of practical and…
