SCI260 – Introduction to Biochemistry
Task #1
Go to your local grocery store and find four (4) foods that are created through genetic
modification (genetic engineering). Briefly describe how the food was created and provide a
picture of the food. Below are two examples (please do not use these examples).
Yukon Gold Potato
These potatoes were created by intentionally crossbreeding a North American white potato and
a wild South American yellow-fleshed potato.
Artic Apple
These apples were developed to have a non-browning trait. This trait is created through a
process called gene silencing, which reduces the apple’s natural production of the polyphenol
oxidase enzyme thereby preventing the fruit from browning.
