Artificial selection, genetic engineering, and cloning are examples of biotechnology. Which phrase best defines biotechnology?
A
the application of living things and biological processes
B
the application of living things and biological processes
C
the process of creating a genetically identical organism, cell, or piece of genetic material
D
the use of computer and other electronic devices in the field of biology .
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology is the use and application of living organisms and biological processes for specific purposes such as cloning.

Detailed explanation-2: -The science that involves using living organisms to produce needed materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial selection is not an example of biotechnology. Artificial selection does not directly change a single organism’s DNA. Artificial selection is used to make genetically identical copies of an organisms, cell, or piece of genetic material.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biotech uses biological processes such as fermentation and harnesses biocatalysts such as enzymes, yeast, and other microbes to become microscopic manufacturing plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Many forms of modern biotechnology rely on DNA technology. DNA technology is the sequencing, analysis, and cutting-and-pasting of DNA. Common forms of DNA technology include DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, DNA cloning, and gel electrophoresis.
