Biotechnology:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering basic introduction. The term biotechnology-derived through the fusion of biology with technology. Biotechnology consists of applying the principles of science and engineering to the production of materials by biological agents for the supply of products and services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biotechnology is the controlled use of biological agents such as; microorganisms or cellular components for beneficial use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Biotechnology:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

There are two types of biotechnology. Such as;<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Old\/Traditional biotechnology and<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Modern biotechnology.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Old\/Traditional Biotechnology:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    The processes which are based on the natural capabilities of microorganisms are commonly known as Old\/Traditional biotechnology. Beer, Wine, Cheese, vinegar, curd, and many foods have been produced using traditional biotechnology.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Modern Biotechnology: <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    The process by which a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO<\/a>) is developed through recombinant DNA technology is called modern biotechnology.<\/span><\/p>\n
