Petroleum-lysing bacteria are being engineered for the removal of oil spills. What is the most realistic danger of these bacteria to the environment?

Write a short note on biopiracy,highlighting the exploitation of developing countries by the developed countries.

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.

Why has the Indian Parliament cleared the second amendment of the country's patents bill?
