1 |
What is the species targeted for biological control? |
C3 |
2 |
What direct effects does the parent organism have on
the target species? |
General Information |
3 |
What direct effects does the GMO have on the target
species? |
C10 |
4 |
What is the host range of the GMO? If the host range
of the GMO is likely to be different from that of the parent
organism, explain why. |
C3 |
5 |
What non-target organisms have been tested for
susceptibility to the GMO? |
D8 |
6 |
What is the rationale for the choice of species
tested? |
General Information |
7 |
How is the GMO transferred from one target
individual to another and what factors affect this transferability? |
D2, D3 |
8 |
What secondary effects can be envisaged on
predators, prey or parasites of the target species? |
D4, D8 |
9 |
Explain the consequence of the removal or reduction
of the target species on the management of agriculturally
significant plants or farm animals. |
D4 |
10 |
Predict any change in the ecosystem resulting from a
reduction in the population of the target organism. |
D4 |
11 |
Does the GMO produce metabolites which may have
deleterious effects directly on other organisms or indirectly
through concentration in the food chain? If so, elaborate. |
C2, E3 |
12 |
If the modified genetic traits can be transmitted to
other organisms which are likely to be in the environment, are these
other organisms likely to affect non-target species? |
D2, D3, D8 |
13 |
What genetic response might be invoked in
populations of the target organism as a result of the use of the GMO
(e.g. increased resistance to the modified organism)? What evidence
is there for this response?
