Greetings Card : GM food, conceptual image
Cards from Science Photo Library
GM food, conceptual image
GM food. Conceptual image of the genetic modification of food, showing the DNA base letters written in Alphabetti Spaghetti. DNA contains four different bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine, represented by their initial letter. Sequences of these bases form genes, which contain the instructions for making proteins. Inserting new genes into the genome of an organism can give it desirable properties, such as resistance to frost or delayed spoilage. Both pasta and bread are made from wheat, one of the most commonly genetically modified crops

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the concept of genetic modification (GM) in food, using a clever visual representation. The image features Alphabetti Spaghetti arranged to form the DNA base letters - adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. These bases are fundamental building blocks of DNA, which contain the instructions for protein synthesis. Genetic engineering involves inserting new genes into an organism's genome to confer desirable traits like frost resistance or delayed spoilage. This innovative technique has revolutionized agriculture in the 21st century by enabling scientists to modify crops such as wheat, one of the most commonly genetically modified plants. The photograph emphasizes that both pasta and bread are derived from wheat, highlighting its significance in our daily meals. It prompts us to reflect on how genetic modification impacts our food choices at home and beyond. By incorporating elements of biology and genetics into this conceptual image, it underscores the intersection between science and everyday life. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), represented by these spaghetti letters, symbolizes the intricate nature of genetic engineering and bio-technology. While not mentioning any specific company or commercial use associated with GM foods, this thought-provoking print sparks conversations about ethical considerations surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It invites viewers to explore concepts related to transgenic technology while appreciating the scientific advancements shaping our modern world.
