WHAT’S BIOTECHNOLOGY?????

Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially
when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine.

Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics,
molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell
biology, which are in turn linked to practical disciplines like
chemical engineering, information technology, and
robotics

Biotechnology has contributed towards the exploitation of
biological organisms or biological processes through
modern techniques, which could be profitably used in
medicine, agriculture, animal husbandry and

United States Supreme Court ruled that a
genetically-modified microorganism could be
patented in the case of Diamond v. Chakrabarty

Application

Biotechnology has applications in four
major industrial areas, including health
care, crop production and agriculture, non
food uses of crops and environmental
uses.

Biotechnology is also used to recycle,
treat waste, clean up sites contaminated
by industrial activities (bioremediation),
and also to produce biological weapons.


Red biotechnology is applied to medical processes. Some
examples are the designing of organisms to produce
antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures through
genomic manipulation.

White biotechnology also known as grey biotechnology, is
biotechnology applied to industrial processes.

Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to
agricultural processes.

The term blue biotechnology has also been used to
