Explain different biosafety issues which may arise due to genetically modified (GM)organisms.

Explanation

1. Genetic miodification of organisms can have unpredictable effects when such organisms are introduced into the ecosystem.
2. Cross pollination between GM plants and wild varieties leads to the contaminationof gene pools of wild varieties.
3. Consumption of GM food may lead to allergies.GM microbes escape from laboratories and cause hazards. Manipulation of living organisms needs regulation.
4. Under biosafety important issues such as biopiracy and biopaterntingare also included. E.g. Texmasti.
