Hello everyone,
This term we have been working on
genetics and our theme was mutated food. Our teacher asked us to do some
questions on our blog and I have worked with Alex.
This are the questions:
- Where was the radioactive explosion that caused many different mutations?
- Járkov
- Leópolis
- Chernovil
- Donetsk
- Which are the three most popular natural mutations?
- Animal mutation
- Human mutation
- Robot mutation
- Food mutation
- What effects can mutations have on animals?
- Longer lifespan
- Turn into another animal
- You feel exhausted
- You feel really hungry
- What good effects can a mutation have on a human?
- It gives you wings
- It can make you recover from illnesses
- You can run faster
- You become clever
- What is a mutant food?
- It's a type of food that suffers changes in the DNA and that can
change in colour, size, form... Usually it's done so the food does't get
rotten.
- Explain this photo.
- In
this photo we can see the process of three different tomatos. The three
types of tomato are a non-modificated tomato, a semi-mutated tomato
anda completely mutated tomato. You can see that the natural tomato
starts getting rotten in 10 days. The semi-mutated tomato changes of
colour but doesn't get rotten. The completely mutated tomato doesn't
have any changes whatsoever.
- Mutated food.
- The mutant food happens when a food changes its DNA, and like that the
food changes the size, the form and the colour. This mutation is done
not to get rotten. If we change the DNA of a food, it can have less
proteins and vitamins; so it is better to eat a natural or non mutant
food, for instance, we can think about the tomato example: The three types of tomato are a non-modificated tomato, a semi-mutated
tomato anda completely mutated tomato. You can see that the natural
tomato starts getting rotten in 10 days. The semi-mutated tomato changes
of colour but doesn't get rotten. The completely mutated tomato
doesn't have any changes whatsoever.
