Biotechnology and genetic engineering from "summary" of Biology by Neil A. Campbell
Biotechnology refers to the use of living organisms to create a wide range of products and processes. Genetic engineering is a type of biotechnology that involves manipulating the genetic material of an organism to achieve a desired result. The field of biotechnology and genetic engineering has revolutionized the way we approach medicine, agriculture, and industry.
One of the key applications of biotechnology and genetic engineering is in the field of medicine. Scientists use genetic engineering to produce important molecules such as insulin and growth hormone. By inserting the genes that code for these molecules into bacteria or other organisms, scientists can mass-produce these substances for medical use. This has greatly improved the treatment options available for many diseases.
In agriculture, biotechnology and genetic engi...
