Suggest answers: 1. Healthier meat: This is a new kind of meat produced by introducing plant genes into traditional animal meat genes. As this can be considered as a new variety of animal, it cannot
receive a patent.
2. Helpful rats: These future rats have received training to help people in difficult or dangerous situations. The new part of this is the computer program training, so it cannot receive a patent. 3. Mapping the Stars: The new star system that scientists have discovered is very important. But it is a discovery and not an invention. So it cannot receive a patent. 4. A trap for insects: This method of preventing insects coming into a house is a true invention. It solves a problem in a practical way. It should be given a patent. 5.
