Question

Mention the application of Biotechnology.

Answer 1

1. Biotechnology is one of the most important applied interdisciplinary sciences of the 21st century. It is the trusted area that enables us to find a beneficial way of life.
2. Biotechnology has wide applications in various sectors like agriculture, medicine, the environment, and commercial industries.
3. This science has an invaluable outcome like transgenic varieties of plants e.g. transgenic cotton (Bt-cotton), rice, tomato, tobacco, cauliflower, potato, and banana.
4. The development of transgenics as pesticide-resistant, stress-resistant, and disease-resistant varieties of agricultural crops is the immense outcome of biotechnology.
5. The synthesis of human insulin and blood protein in E.coli and utilized for insulin deficiency disorder in humans is a breakthrough in biotech industries in medicine.
6. The synthesis of vaccines, enzymes, antibiotics, dairy products, and beverages are the products of the biotech industries.
7. The biochip-based biological computer is one of the successes of biotechnology.
8. Genetic engineering involves genetic manipulation, tissue culture involves aseptic cultivation of totipotent plant cells into plant clones under controlled atmospheric conditions.
9. Single-cell protein from Spirulina is utilized in food industries.
10. Production of secondary metabolites, biofertilizers, biopesticides, and enzymes.
11. Biomass energy, biofuel, bioremediation, and phytoremediation for environmental biotechnology.
