We describe a bond having one end slightly positive and the other end slightly negative as being polar. Inductive effects. An atom like fluorine which can pull the bonding pair away from the atom it is attached to is said to have a negative inductive effect.
These genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are designed for many reasons, including: pesticide and disease resistance, drought/frost resistance, increased yields, enhanced nutritional content and as a way to produce drugs or vaccines at low cost on a large scale.
So letâs take a step back. Iâd like to explore why it is that we should indeed do everything possible to avoid GMO foods. First, letâs take a look at the scope of the issue. At least 90% of the canola, cotton, corn, soy, and sugar beets sold in United States come from seeds that have been genetically engineered. The main reason that these crops are genetically engineered is to make them resistant to herbicides.
