Detailed explanation-1: -How has plasmapheresis changed the biotechnology industry? It increased the efficiency in blood plasma donation by returning red blood cells to the donor. What would be a direct benefit of biotechnology to agriculture in a time of severe drought? Genetically modifying crops to be resistant to changes in weather.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earliest examples of biotechnology The earliest example of biotechnology is the domestication of plants and animals. Domestication began over 10, 000 years ago when our ancestors started keeping plants as a reliable source of food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Limitations of biotechnology: Cloning may result in misuse of this technique to produce genetic monsters. Due to transgenic genes, the insects may become resistant over time and more harmful insects may be produced. There will be more production of genetically modified crops which will result in loss of biodiversity.
