Agricultural Biotechnology
•
Agriculture in biotech has the potential to
make new and healthier foods and aggrandize
for health benediction.
•
It helps magnifying crop yields baffled
scientists environmental risks.
Agricultural Biotechnology (continued)
•
Examples:
*Animal drugs
*Food processing aids
*Engineering microorganisms
* Engineering insects
*Engineering fiber plants
*Herbicide
DNA Fingerprinting
•
DNA fingerprinting is a test to identify a
genetic called DNA.
•
It would be very unlikely to have two people
with the same DNA, for this reason police use
this to identify pedestrians who have caused a
crime.
•
Things like hair, blood, and saliva contain DNA
in them.
DNA Fingerprinting (continued
)
•
Police use powder to a place where they
would most likely find finger prints and brush
it off to see it and put it on a clear piece of
paper. They also use UV lights used to make
clear on surfaces and on clothes.
Food Field
•
Biotechnology in the process of
food production has been for
over 10 thousand years.
•
It is used to make bread, wine
and beer.
•
With new and healthier biotech
and genetic engineering it
enables food produces to
obtain animal and crop
improvements in much more
precise, controlled and
predicted manner.
Medical Biotechnology
•
Medical biotechnology is the use of living cells
and cell materials to research and produce
pharmaceutical and diagnostic products that
help treat and prevent human diseases.
•
Examples of medical biotechnology are
growth hormones, and insulin
,and printing skin
