I'll just tell you the task first.

Task

Choose ONE of the following article and:

a) Summarise it briefly and identify and explain the main scientific principles that relate to the work of the researchers involved (300-400 words)

b) Find another article describing the research of other scientists working in a similar area. Compare and Contrast the findings or ideas f the two article. (200-300 words)

c) Assess an ethical concern that is associated with the work of these two groups of researchers by describing the reasons why people in society may be concerned by the work they do. Give your opinion as to whether this concern is justified, explaining why or why not (300-400 words)

Their are 4 articles to choose from. These are:

Test Monkeys' Offspring Pick Up Genetic Modification - washingtonpost.com
'Designer' toxins target resistant bugs - environment - 02 November 2007 - New Scientist

We did genetically modified food for this unit, so i'm not that good.
But..part c basically means why people are getting worked up about it and should they really be? [ie. religious groups about IVF etc.]
