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.
GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms. One of the most important GMO facts is that GMOs are adapted with beneficial traits that help them thrive in their environment. Think drought-tolerant corn, or pest-resistant soybeans that need less bug spraying.
