Genetically modified organism (GMO) is a body created by the artificial change in the genetic material. Although men from dozens of thousands of years have interfered in the genetic information, crossbreeding individuals with selected features, the discovery of the sequence of the DNA helix was a particularly important development, made by Watson and Crick in 1953. From this point genetic engineering has developed in such a way that made possible the modification of organisms in vitro, then transferring them to the environment. Thanks to using GMOs more and more medication can be produced. It is also possible to achieve a higher quality crops and reduce the number of hungry people in the world. However, there are scientists who question the safety reviews of products made from genetically modified organisms.
