'Genetically modified organisms' are organisms which have been altered genetically using genetic engineering. Genetically modified foods should be labelled since they allow the user to understand and to give them the choice to either eat them or not.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is the process by which GMO are produced. Genetic engineering allows changes to be made at genetic level where new sequences of genes are introduced or deleted though techniques like selective breeding or mutation breeding.

Certain advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified food are stated below:

In agriculture, crops are produced with better yield and taste.The crops are also made resistant to pests and insects.The seeds mature quickly.Few examples of GM foods are Golden rice, Flavr savr tomatoes, Bt cotton, etc.

Disadvantages of GMO:

The new traits introduced can cause adverse health reactions.If these resistant varieties cross breed they might result in production of 'super weeds'.

Foods must be labelled since there might be health issues caused by them. The nutritional value of the food might be changed which should be observed if it is to be given to infants.

The main role of dna in the cell is the long-term storage of information. it is often compared to a blueprint, since it contains the instructions to construct other components of the cell, such as proteins and rna molecules.the main function of rna is to carry information of amino acid sequence from the genes to where proteins are assembled on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. mark brainliest, my work is good.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
