Patent Protection to Genetically Modified Organisms and its impact on Environment A Critical Appraisal

Abstract

The science and technology of the modern era have revolutionized the entire world. newlineTechnology is the application of knowledge and significant role in ongoing progress and newlinedevelopment. Among these technologies, Biotechnological advancement of modern world have newlinereached new heights in the human life. Biotechnology is the process of modifying the living newlineorganisms in such a way that they become more productive for the humans. Genetic newlineEngineering a key component of biotechnology, involves the insertion of heritable materials newlinewhich do not usually occur or will not occur naturally in the organism or cell concerned newlinegenerated outside the organism of the cell is inserted into said cell or organism. It also means newlinethe formation of new combinations of genetic material by incorporation of a cell into a host newlinecell, where they occur naturally as well as a modification of an organism or in a cell by newlinedelegation and removal of parts of the heritable material. Now, the age of genetic engineering, newlineestablishes as a research area comprises any technique that uses living organisms or substances newlinefrom those organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals, or to develop newlinemicroorganisms for specific uses .
