2. WHAT IS BIOTECHNOLOGY ? DEFINITION: The use of living organism to make useful products/things for the benefit of mankind is called biotechnology.

3. PLANTS BIOTECHNOLOGY Plant Biotechnology is a scientific technique that adapts plants for specific purposes by cross-breeding ,extending their growing seasons etc. Plants Biotechnology can be used for: fruit development vaccine production increase nutritional quality etc.

4. ANIMAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Animal Biotechnology is a branch of biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to genetically engineer animals in order to improve their suitability for pharmaceuticals ,agricultural or industrial applications.

5. FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY Biotech food is grown from seeds that carry specific genes to produce desired characteristics. The first biotech food on the market, in the early 1990’s , was a tomato that ripened on the vine and could be transported without bruising.

6. INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Industrial biotechnology is a set of practices that use living cells (such as bacteria ,yeast ,algae) or component of cells like enzymes , to generate industrial products and processes. Apply technology to improve food technology. Role in beverage industry. Development of new processes for higher production.

7. MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Medical Biotechnology is the use of living cells and cell material to research and produce pharmaceuticals (like enzyme , antibiotic ,vaccine etc) that help to treat and prevent human diseases. Some Uses : DNA fingerprinting, Gene Therapy etc .
