1- Guide 500 words –
You must identify and explain the OGTR regulations (Gene Technology Act) that are applicable to the specific biological organism in your scenario (i.e. genetic modification element)
Identify the relevant elements of these regulations for your biological agent and indicate how these regulations are relevant for activities undertaken with your biological agent in your scenario so that this can be understood by the general public. Identify the importance of these regulations to protect laboratory workers, the community and the environment. Identify and explain additional control measures that might be used to mitigate risk associated with genetic modification.
Be sure to use citations/references to source all information.
2- CONCLUSION
You should integrate an overall discussion of how the Gene Technology Act and Australian
laboratory safety standards and the Biosecurity Act contribute to the safe handling of your
biological agent in your scenario.
Note :
You should write for a general audience without a science background, in the style of an article for “The Conversation” (https://theconversation.com/au). I have provided the introduction to ensure it matches this style.
