    Genetically modified salmon were created by Canadian scientists who took a growth gene from Chinook salmon and an "on-off" switch gene from ocean pout and introduced them into the genetic structure of Atlantic salmon. The genetically modified salmon were patented and produced larger fish intended to increase food production. The student agrees with producing this genetically modified salmon as it helps increase the healthy and large salmon available for food production.

    PERFORMANCE TASK#2: GENETIC ENGINEERING AND GMOs

    NAME: Mark Daniel E Manalang SECTION: 11-ABM –Morgan DATE: 06/07/23

    Answer the following:

    Example of an Genetically Modified Organism(GMO) How is this produce?

    Genetically modified (GM) salmon were


    patented by Canadian scientists who took a
    gene that regulates growth hormones in
    Pacific Chinook salmon and a promoter—the
    equivalent of a genetic 'on-off' switch—from an
    ocean pout and introduced them into the
    genetic structure of an Atlantic salmon.

    Uses What is your personal opinion about this GMO? Do


    You agree with this or disagree
    For food production
    I agree because the use of gmo to salmon was
    a big help for us to produce healthy and big
    salmon for our food production
