9.   Evaluation

Questions :

1)   How does a model organism increase our knowledge on genetic diseases in humans ?

2)   What are the advantages and disadvantages of patent for genetically modified organisms (GMO) ?

Answer :

1)   Model organisms are used for research in studying genes that are responsible for genetic diseases. Genetic systems are usually in the same phylogenetic pathway so what is known in one organism can be same as in another organism. Model organisms are those that can grow or reproduce easily, have easy understandable genetic system, and many offspring, so that it can be a good source of study

2)   The positive effect of a patent right for the GMO is to increase competition for innovation and to return production cost. The negative effect is that something from nature must not be kept as a right for one or several companies or individuals. What is needed are individuals and companies to develop GMO but patent rights still need to be further discussed.
