$A$ : Indian Government has set up organizations such as $GEAC$ (Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee),which make decisions regarding the validity of $GM$ research and the safety of introducing $GM$ organisms for public services.
$R$ : Genetic modification of organisms can have unpredictable results when such organisms are introduced into the ecosystem.

Which Indian Patent Bill has been passed by the Indian Parliament regarding the regulation of biological resources and associated knowledge?

What could be the possible harm of using an antibiotic-resistant gene as a selectable marker in a plasmid,used for gene transfer in the production of $GM$ food?
$(A)$ $GM$ food contains the enzyme produced by the antibiotic resistance gene that was used during gene transfer in genetic engineering. This could cause allergies since it is a foreign protein.
$(B)$ The bacteria present in the alimentary canal of humans could take up the antibiotic resistance gene present in $GM$ food.
$(C)$ The bacteria in the human alimentary canal would then become resistant to the concerned antibiotic.
$(D)$ The transgene may be transferred through pollen to their wild relatives and make weeds more persistent and damaging.

Genetically modified food crops are not desirable because,.......

Use of bioresources by multinational companies and organisations without authorisation from the concerned country and its people is called

$A$ : Some nations are developing laws to prevent unauthorised exploitation of their bioresources and traditional knowledge.
$R$ : Brazzein,a protein obtained from a West African plant,was isolated,sequenced,and patented in $U.S.A.$
