III . Environmental Considerations 
Ecological and evolutionary characteristics of the parent organism will 
be significant in predicting the survival, persi stance, dispersal, and 
effect of the recombinant . Therefore, points are suggested to assess: 
A. 1. Survival, multiplication, and dispersal 
2. Habitat and dispersal 
3 . Growth characterists 
4. Conditions affecting survival, multiplication, and dispersal 
B. l. Adverse effects 
2. Biological interaction 
a . Host range 
b. Predators 
c. Competitors 
d. Mutualistic interactions 
3. Evolutionary considerations 
4. Stability and transferability
