Biotechnology allows for criminals to be captured through forensic testing.

Detailed explanation-1: -In forensic science, it is used to identify prospective criminal suspects. To prove paternity and establish familial ties. To identify and protect the commercial crop and livestock types. To figure out an organism’s evolutionary history and the relationships between different groupings of species.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crops that have been genetically engineered to resist disease would increase the use of pesticides. Animals that consume genetically-engineered crops will no longer be able to reproduce. Human DNA might experience recombinant mutations with the plant DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -A small piece of circular DNA called a plasmid? is extracted from the bacteria or yeast cell. A small section is then cut out of the circular plasmid by restriction enzymes, ‘molecular scissors’. The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified.
Detailed explanation-4: -The possible benefits of genetic engineering include: More nutritious food. Tastier food. Disease-and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (such as water and fertilizer)
