Question

16. What is conventional or traditional biotechnology ?​

Answer 1

Answer:Traditional biotechnology refers to the traditional techniques of using living organisms to yield new products or modify foods or other useful products for human use. Without the traditional biotech, there won’t be modern biotechnology. The early examples of biotechnology include breeding animals and crops to make cheese/yoghurt, bread, beer and wine. Some traditional techniques such as selective breeding, hybridization and mutagenesis, are used in current applications of biotechnology. Other technologies include fermentation, selective breeding, food processing, tissue culture and more. The diversity of microorganisms and development of genetics expanded the potential of traditional biotechnology, and ultimately led to the development of modern biotechnology.

What is Modern Biotechnology?Modern biotechnology involves the use of GE techniques, such as recombinant DNA, functional and structural genomics, DNA diagnostic probes, and other methods for genetic modification. The development of recombinant DNA technology has marked the beginning of so-called modern biotechnology. Modern biotech has contributed significantly to enhancing our knowledge of biological systems. Modern biotechnology techniques are currently being used in many areas such as food, agriculture, forestry, healthcare, environment, minerals, and industrial processes to develop new products and processes. One of the most extensive applications of modern biotech is in agriculture. Recombinant DNA techniques and mutagenesis are used to develop plants with novel traits. Biotech diagnostics have been used to detect a wide variety of diseases and genetic conditions.

Answer 2

Answer:

hey mate

Explanation:

this is your answer :-

Conventional Biotechnology

conventional biotechnology is a biotechnology practice conducted by

using simple method and instruments, without genetic manipulation. It has

been done since thousands years ago to produce many kinds of products,

such as beer, wine, tuak, sake, yogurt, bread, cheese, soysauce, tempe,

tapai, and oncom.

a. Kecap, b. Tahu, c. tempe are the product of conventional biotechnology

Modern Biotechnology

Modern biotechnology is a biotechnology practice developed with

genetic manipulation technique, in which transfer of genetic material

(transfer of gene) from one living organism to the other occurs. Through this

technique, human can control the production according to his desire. For

examples, the production of pest and disease resistant plants, imperishable

fruits, and cattle which are able to produce more milk.

In genetic manipulation process, organisms whose body contains

foreign gene are called transgenic organisms. They can be transgenic plant,

transgenic animal, and transgenic bacteria.
