Question

Which of the following is a valid reason why biosafety protocols are important?

पर्याय

• Biosafety protocols eliminate all risks associated with genetic modification

• Biosafety measures slow down biotechnology innovation unnecessarily

• Biological products must be checked before large-scale use and safety rules reduce chances of ecological and health-related damage

• They are required only for animal research, not plant biotechnology

Answer 1

Biosafety is important because genetically modified organisms may spread in the environment after release, some modified traits may affect non-target organisms, and biological products must be checked before large-scale use. Safety rules reduce the chances of ecological and health-related damage, though they cannot eliminate all risks entirely.
