Tornadoes only form under certain weather conditions. There are three types of airs for a tornado to form, warm humid air close to the ground, cold air in the upper atmosphere, and hot dry air on top that form a cap.(na, 2010) Hurricanes can form tornadoes adding to their destructive power.
Genetically modified crops. Genetically modified crops (GM crops, or biotech crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
Modern genetic technology can be used to modify the genomes of living organisms. This process is also known as âgenetic engineering.â Genes of one species can be modified, or genes can be transplanted from one species to another. Genetic engineering is made possible by recombinant DNA technology. Organisms that have altered genomes are known as transgenic. Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. For example, âknock-outâ mice are transgenic mice that have a particular gene of interest disabled.
