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

Solution
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.
