Ans.

(1)

Genetic modification of organisms can have unpredictable results, when such organisms are introduced into the ecosystem. Therefore, the Indian Government has set up organizations such as GEAC (Genetic Engineering Approval Committee), (now changed as Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee) which makes decisions regarding the validity of GM research and the safety of introducing GM-organisms for public services.
