what is biotechnology explain​

Answer 1

Explanation:

What is Biotechnology?

Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products.

Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product). Such traditional processes usually utilize the living organisms in their natural form (or further developed by breeding), while the more modern form of biotechnology will generally involve a more advanced modification of the biological system or organism.

With the development of genetic engineering in the 1970s, research in biotechnology (and other related areas such as medicine, biology etc.) developed rapidly because of the new possibility to make changes in the organisms' genetic material (DNA).

Today, biotechnology covers many different disciplines (eg. genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc.). New technologies and products are developed every year within the areas of eg. medicine (development of new medicines and therapies), agriculture (development of genetically modified plants, biofuels, biological treatment) or industrial biotechnology (production of chemicals, paper, textiles and food).

${\mathfrak{{answer}}}$

Biotechnology, often abbreviated to biotech, is the area of biology that uses living processes, organisms or systems to manufacture products or technology intended to improve the quality of human life. Depending on the technology, tools and applications involved, biotechnology can overlap with molecular biology, bionics, bioengineering, genetic engineering and nanotechnology.

By harnessing cellular and biomolecular processes, scientists can make advances and adaptations to technology in various fields. Traditional processes include using living organisms in their natural form, breeding new living organisms or modifying their genetic makeup. Successful applications of such processes have resulted in treatment of disease, environmental impact reduction and more efficient use of natural resources. Major biotech companies implement biotechnology as a practice to bring medical devices and products to the mainstream market.

Biotechnology, like other advanced technologies, has the potential for misuse. Concern about this has led to efforts by some groups to enact legislation restricting or banning certain processes or programs, such as human cloning and embryonic stem-cell research. There is also concern that if biotechnological processes are used by groups with nefarious intent, the end result could be biological warfare.

Types of biotechnology

• The science of biotechnology can be broken down into sub-disciplines based on common uses and applications.

• Red biotechnology involves medical processes such as getting organisms to produce new drugs and using stem cells to regenerate damaged human tissues or perhaps re-grow entire organs.

• White (or sometimes seen as gray) biotechnology involves industrial processes such as the production of new chemicals or the development of new fuels for vehicles.

• Green biotechnology applies to agricultural processes such as producing pest-resistant crops, disease-resistant animals and environmentally-friendly development.

• Gold biotechnology, also known as bioinformatics, is a cross between biological processes and computing that plays a key role in biological data.

• Blue biotechnology encompasses processes in marine and aquatic environments, such as controlling the proliferation of noxious water-borne organisms.

• Yellow biotechnology refers to processes that aid food production, the most popular application being the fermentation of alcohol or cheese.

• Violet biotechnology handles the compliance, law and ethical issues that arise within the field.

• Dark biotechnology references the ability to use biotechnology for weapons or warefare.
