Essay Outline Format (Assignment 2)

Introduction:

General Statement : Generally, there are genetically modified crops and crops that are not genetically modified. Genetically modified crops are crops those who genetically modified using exposure to radiation to create a non-specific but stable change Thesis Statement: These two types of crops can be distinguished based on their yielding capacity and resistance to the pesticides

Body 1

Topic Sentence 1 The most visible feature between genetically modified crops and non-genetically modified crops the their yielding capacity Supporting Sentence 1 Genetically modified crops owns a DNA strand which are modified to produce more yield Evidence 1 A recent statistic from a seven-year study of Indian farmers showed that genetically modified crop raised their harvest per acre by 24 percent and boost up income by 50 percent for those who had grew it (Labels for GMO Foods Are a Bad Idea, 2013)

Supporting Sentence 2 Non-genetically modified crops have very low yielding capacity because of their genes. Those genes are non-genetically modified depends on environmental condition to yield high output .

Evidence 2 Traditional farmers farming non-genetically modified crops depend on quality of soil, harvest timings and traditional pest control methods, which generates a lower yield (Sherman, 2009).

Concluding sentence Non genetically modified crops productivity cannot be compared with genetically modified crops. Thus, promising improvements had been noticed over the few years via genetically modified crops.

Body 2

Topic Sentence 2 Additional characteristics of genetically modified crops is they are resistant to pesticides

Supporting sentence 1 Genetically modified crops are naturally resistance to pesticide and does not require additional pesticides

Evidence According to McGrath(2013), Mr. Paterson, the Environment Secretary of European Union said that the modern technology possess the capability to decrease the use of fertilizers and chemicals, enhance the efficiency of farming production and lessen after harvest losses

Supporting Sentence 2 The crops are less hazardous to human being and are economically friendly.

Evidence 2

Proteins from the soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), are produced from corn and cotton that kills some crucial caterpillar and insect pests without causing large scale effect on creatures including flora, fauna and people (Mendelsohn et al. 2003).

Concluding sentence

Therefore, genetically modified crops has an advantage towards the pesticide control mechanism which brings humans and animals to a safe side.

Conclusion Restatement of Thesis Statement (Paraphrased Thesis Statement)

Genetically modified crops make out most of the high productivity and they have a armor towards pesticides. Recommendations/ comments/ opinions These differences need to be taken into consideration because huge it may add benefits farmers, the environment, and consumers
