Answer:
What is biotechnology,
and how is it used in agriculture?
Biotechnology is the application of scientific techniques
to modify and improve plants, animals, and microorganisms to enhance their value. Agricultural biotechnology is the area of biotechnology involving applications to agriculture. Agricultural biotechnology has been
practiced for a long time, as people have sought to improve agriculturally important organisms by selection
and breeding. An example of traditional agricultural biotechnology is the development of disease-resistant wheat
varieties by cross-breeding different wheat types until
the desired disease resistance was present in a resulting
new variety.
In the 1970s, advances in the field of molecular biology provided scientists with the ability to manipulate
DNA—the chemical building blocks that specify the characteristics of living organisms—at the molecular level.
This technology is called genetic engineering. It also allows transfer of DNA between more distantly related organisms than was possible with traditional breeding techniques. Today, this technology has reached a stage where
scientists can take one or more specific genes from nearly
any organism, including plants, animals, bacteria, or viruses, and introduce those genes into another organism.
An organism that has been transformed using genetic
engineering techniques is referred to as a transgenic organism, or a genetically engineered organism
