1 |
What effects might the GMO have on the food chain?
|
D4, E3 |
2 |
Could the GMO produce any 'new' metabolites or
toxins likely to have deleterious effects on parasites or predators?
If so, elaborate.
|
C2, C6 |
3 |
What other unintended effects may result from the
release? Your answer should include consideration of the effect of
the GMO on the community ecology at the release site.
|
C8 |
4 |
Will the GMOs in this release be fertile? If not, is
it intended to use fertile organisms in later releases?
|
D2 |
5 |
Are the genotype and phenotype of the offspring the
same as those of the GMOs to be released? If not, please specify the
differences.
|
General Information |
6 |
Do populations of the parental organism exist in
Singapore? If so, do these populations cause agricultural,
environmental or public health problems or benefits? Specify the
problems or benefits.
|
A3, A5 |
7 |
Can the changed or added genetic material be
transmitted by means other than reproduction normal for the species?
If so, specify, and elaborate its effects.
|
D2, D3 |
8 |
What is the likelihood of the novel genetic material
entering gene pools of natural populations?
|
A 6, D2 |
9 |
Can the changed or added genetic material be
transmitted to any other species? If so, specify the mechanism of
transfer and list the species.
|
D2 |
10 |
Has any experimental work been done on the
phenotypic expression of the novel genetic material in other genetic
backgrounds (e.g. cross-breeding of modified strains with
wild/caught stock)? If so, what were the results?
|
A6, D2 |
11 |
Could the entry of the novel genetic material into
the gene pool of natural populations of the organism have any effect
on the distribution and abundance of the natural populations? What
would be the effect of this change?
|
D4, C8,D8 |
12 |
What mechanisms will be used to prevent dispersal of
the GMO into other ecosystems?
|
D7 |
