It was first introduced in 1962 by American geneticist James V. Neel to explain the evolutionary basis of diabetes.Layla Brassington vd., “Integrating the Thrifty Genotype and Evolutionary Mismatch Hypotheses to Understand Variation in Cardiometabolic Disease Risk,” Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health 12, no. 1 (2024): 214, er

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) refers to living organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques in ways that cannot occur naturally. This process involves introducing new traits into an organism by transferring genes from another species or modifying its existing genetic structure. Organisms modified through this technology are also referred to in the literature as transgenic organisms, genetically engineered organisms, or bioengineered organisms.The

Radon is a radioactive noble gas with the symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is colorless odorless and tasteless. It forms naturally through the decay of uranium and thorium minerals in the Earths crust. It remains in the air for a short time and poses health risks when inhaled.HistoryRadon was discovered in the early 1900s. Its name is derived from the word radio indicating its radioactive properties. Scientists have been studying the effects of radon on human health and the environment for man
