转基因（Transgene） Transgene Genetically modified crops, by biotechnology, separate one (or several) genes from organisms and then implant them into another organism to produce new organisms. Transgenic rice, such as Bt, refers to the transfer of an insect resistant gene from a soil to rice, which makes it resistant to insect pests. Until now, the long-term safety of GM foods to human health has yet to be determined. Genetically modified organisms with alien genes of nature ecosystem is a new species, if released to the environment, will change the competitive relationship between species, destruction of the original natural ecological balance, resulting in loss of species extinction and biodiversity. Genetically modified organisms reproduce themselves in nature and cross with their relatives, thereby causing foreign genes to spread in the natural world in an irreversible manner, resulting in irreversible genetic contamination. What is GM? Genetically modified crops, by biotechnology, separate one (or several) genes from organisms and then implant them into another organism to produce new organisms. For example, scientists believe that a gene in the Arctic fish has antifreeze effects, so it is extracted, and then implanted in tomatoes, the manufacture of new varieties of Hardy tomatoes, that is, genetically modified organisms. Foods that contain genetically modified organisms are called genetically modified foods. What impact does GM have on the environment and humans? Because of the unintended benefits of GM technology, there will be some unforeseen impacts on the environment and food safety. In the absence of long-term and adequate safety assessment, if released into the natural environment, it is likely to destroy the original ecological balance. In addition, genetically modified organisms breed through self breeding and cross breeding with their close relatives, causing foreign genes to spread in nature, resulting in irreparable genetic pollution.
