LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Animal biotechnology is a branch of biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to genetically engineer (i.e. modify the genome of) animals in order to improve their suitability for agriculture, industrial, or pharmaceutical applications.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering is the cornerstone of modern biotechnology. It is based on scientific tools, developed in recent decades, that enable researchers to: Identify the gene that produces the protein of interest. Cut the DNA sequence that contains the gene from a sample of DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biotechnology to Improve Animal Health For decades, farmers have been improving livestock herds through enhanced animal husbandry practices and more modern technologies, such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer, in vitro fertilization, genetic mapping and cloning.

Detailed explanation-4: -Today, the five branches into which modern biotechnology is divided-human, environmental, industrial, animal and plant-help us fight hunger and disease, produce more safely, cleanly and efficiently, reduce our ecological footprint and save energy.
