(7)gives them exclusive rights of the production and sales of

6,7: Present Simple: The company is not “inventing” the bicycle at this very
moment.
8. Irregular past verb: Past of “put is “put”
This is called intellectual property rights. Secure in their

are investing their time, money, and brain power to research

9: High degree of certainty: We use “will” and not “may” to express high
certainty.
10, 11, 12: Present Simple : Repetitive (habitual) action.
Most consumer products (13) are patented / is patented, but
there is controversy over whether naturally occurring, or living
organisms can be patented. As it stands, DNA can be patented.
Some “types” of cattle (14) have been bred / were bred to be
ideal for meat; biotechnology or agriculture companies
(15 )could/can actually patent the entire set of DNA (called a
genome) of that animal so that another farm or meat business
cannot raise animals with the same favorable DNA. Livestock
(16) can now clone / can now be cloned to reproduce optimal
genomes. If you live in the US or EU, you (17) Could /ought to
be eating cloned meat or drinking milk from a cloned cow,
which is something to ponder.
 
        Justification
Most consumer products (13) are patented / is patented, but
there is controversy over whether naturally occurring, or living
organisms can be patented. As it stands, DNA can be patented.
Some “types” of cattle (14) have been bred / were bred to be
ideal for meat; biotechnology or agriculture companies
(15 )could/can actually patent the entire set of DNA (called a

cannot raise animals with the same favorable DNA. Livestock
(16) can now clone / can now be cloned to reproduce optimal
genomes. If you live in the US or EU, you (17) Could /ought to
be eating cloned meat or drinking milk from a cloned cow,
which is something to ponder.
 
          Justification
13. Subject verb agreement: The subject “Most consumer products” is plural.
14. Present Perfect : Unspecified time.
15. Ability: Ability in the present (“actually”) requires “can” and not “could”.
16. Passive voice: The subject “Livestock” receives the action.
17. Possibility: Only “could” works as “ought to” implies obligation which
would be illogical in this context.
 
 So, to clarify, whole living animals (18)are not patented /
were not patented, their DNA is. DNA that would naturally
(19) occurs / occur without human influence is not
patentable. DNA (20)is becoming /becomes patentable
when genetic engineers (21) had isolated / have isolated
or changed it to produce a unique form that would not be
found in nature. DNA patents are on the rise as geneticists
make more and more discoveries; currently over three
million patents relating to (22) DNA have been applied
for / were applied for.
        Justification

           Justification

18. Passive sentence: Context requires the present.
19. Modal form : A verb that comes after a modal never takes “s”.
20. Present simple: Habitual / fact.
21. Present perfect: Past connected to the present.
22. Present Perfect: Past connected to the present.
