Yes, I think that some GMOs are beneficial. For instance genetically altered seeds that deter insects are beneficial because they allow crops to be grown without the threat of being destroyed by pest. The same goes for those that are altered to withstand colder or hotter temperatures. GMOs have their positive points.or instance genetically altered seeds that deter insects are beneficial because they allow crops to be grown without the threat of being destroyed by pest.

Advantages and Disadvantages of GMOs. Edit 0 46 â¦. Advantages of GMOâs. The mapping of genetic material for GMO crops increased knowledge of genetic alterations and introduced the ability to enhance genes in crops to make them more advantageous for human consumption and production (Whitman, 2000).For example, plants can be engineered to be temperature resistant or produce higher yields.This provides greater genetic diversity in different regions where climate limits productivity. Another good reason to have GMO crops planted is to add nutritional value to crops that lack necessary vitamins and nutrients.he GMO process includes adding new genetic material into an organism's genome (Cohen, et al. 1973).In agricultural ecology, similar to bacterial genetic engineering, this means introducing new genes in the genome of crops like corn. Experimental plantings of GMO crops began in Canada and the U.S. in the 1980âs.
