Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology is the use of biology to develop new products, methods and organisms intended to improve human health and society. Biotechnology, often referred to as biotech, has existed since the beginning of civilization with the domestication of plants, animals and the discovery of fermentation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product).
Detailed explanation-3: -What is biotechnology? Biotechnology is the use of biology to solve problems and make useful products. The most prominent approach used is genetic engineering, which enables scientists to tailor an organism’s DNA at will.
Detailed explanation-4: -Products of Biotechnology: For example, cheese, beer, and wine are all common products of biotechnology. All of these products employ the enzymatic processes of microorganisms in order to create the final product. The development of plant and animal products have been drastically improved through biotechnology.
Detailed explanation-5: -Posted in: Cell Culture. Biotechnology is the use of biological organisms in technological processes. It is almost as old as the civilization itself, although it wasn’t called “biotechnology” until the 20th century. Far from abandoning it in the 21st century, we are developing new uses for biological organisms.
