Question textSection E: Questions 10-12. Read this paragraph and answer the following question. Genetic research has become more sophisticated, and this has made it possible to use plants to develop new drugs and to modify crops to provide food security. Often, in the search for new bioresources, researchers draw on local people’s traditional knowledge about the properties of a particular plant, or chemical compound. Using traditional knowledge without permission is called ‘biopiracy’. Biopiracy occurs not only in drug development but also in agricultural and industrial contexts. In fact, Indian products from the neem tree, and Darjeeling tea have been patented by international companies for different purposes at a profit. Patents and trademarks are strongly defended by international trade organisations. However, for traditional farmers, owning an organism is illogical, as is assigning ownership to only one person, rather than a group of users. While patents were first used to protect inventions and encourage innovation, some scientists and academics are pushing for changes as they say they hinder research in important areas. Which of the following ideas are mentioned in the text? (Choose THREE by selecting below) a. Local people can be involved in identifying plants and chemicals. b. New methods in genetic research have increased acts of biopiracy. c. Foreign companies make money from knowledge of some Indian plants. d. International companies have supported a change in current patent laws. e. Ideas of ownership of traditional farmers focus on sharing resources. f. There is disagreement about the current application of patents. 10. Answer 1 Question 10-12[select: , a. Local people can be involved in identifying plants and chemicals., b.
