Question

In the movie “The Hunger Games,” the Capitol (a term used to refer to what we would call the government) produced genetically enhanced birds called jabber jays to spy on rebels. Unexpectedly, these birds bred with mockingbirds, creating a new hybrid bird called the mocking jay. The Capitol did not intend for this to happen, and the bird became a symbol of rebellion. What lessons can we draw about genetic engineering from these examples? Could a scenario like this, where a genetically engineered organism hybridizes with a wild animal or plant, happen in the real world? Why or why not?

Answer 1

We can learn that crossing things that are not

together could lead to issues that could be avoided if not crossing them. Yes this could happen, it is possible to breed animals, like with dogs. Some breeds are more angry.
