BIOTECHNOLOGY
Modern Biotechnology
Applications
Medical and health, Pharmaceutical, Industrial processes, Agriculture, Environment, Forensic, Food and beverages, Conservation, Forestry
Speed Of Process
Faster, direct manipulation of genetic material accelerates results.
Techniques Used
PCR, Genetic engineering, Protein engineering, Tissue culture Gene cloning Gene isolation, Gene therapy, DNA fingerprinting, Nuclear transplantation
Impact On Environment
Can reduce environmental impacts (example: pest-resistant crops), but potential risks include unintended ecological effects.
Definition
The application of advanced tools like genetic engineering to manipulate organisms at the molecular level for desired outcomes.
Traditional Biotechnology
Applications
Brewing beer, making cheese, winemaking, and bread baking.
Speed Of Process
Slow, dependent on natural growth and reproduction cycles.
Techniques Used
Fermentation, Selective breeding, Crossbreeding.
Impact On Environment
Generally sustainable but limited in scale and scope.
Definition
The use of natural processes (example: fermentation) to produce goods like food, beverages, and medicines.
