1

A mutant organism in which the mutational event did not involve the introduction of any foreign nucleic acid (that is, non-homologous DNA, usually from another species).

2

A recombinant organism formed through integration into chromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA sequences of a genetic element that:

(a) occurs naturally in the species concerned; and
(b) moves sporadically between genome sites.

3

An organism that:

(a) results from the fusion of 2 animal cells; and
(b) is unable to form a viable whole animal.
Example

Organisms of the kind described include hybridomas created to produce monoclonal antibodies.

4

An organism that results from protoplast fusion involving only non-pathogenic bacteria or non-pathogenic yeast.

5

A plant formed by:

(a) embryo rescue; or
(b) in vitro fertilisation; or
(c) zygote implantation; or
(d) protoplast fusion.

6

An organism that results from an exchange of DNA if:

(a) the donor species is also the host species; and
(b) the vector DNA does not contain any heterologous DNA.

7

An organism that results from an exchange of DNA between the donor species and the host species if:

(a) such exchange can occur by naturally occurring processes; and
(b) the donor species and the host species are both mentioned in the same group in Part 2 of this Schedule; and
(c) the vector used in the exchange does not contain heterologous DNA from any organism other than an organism that is involved in the exchange.
