| Application of technologies on biological systems, | | | | environmental science as well. It is used to recycle |
| dead organisms and their derivatives and food and | | | | and retreat the wastes that are left behind at |
| medicine can be broadly defined as biotechnology. It | | | | contaminated sites by various industries. This process |
| never had a particular definition since its applications | | | | is termed as bioremediation. Many experiments |
| and implementations on various other areas of | | | | concerning DNA and RNA and other molecular |
| science are enormous. From manipulating crops and | | | | structures in the human body also comprise of a |
| plants to increase the yield to transfer of genes from | | | | wide area of practical biotechnology. Mapping of the |
| one organism to the other biotechnology | | | | genes has risen a lot of interest in this decade and |
| encompasses almost all the living and non-living | | | | with the completion of the Human Genome Project |
| entities on earth. With the drastic improvement in | | | | newer prospects for biotechnology has paved way. |
| various machineries and equipments used in the | | | | Biotechnology has found promising applications in |
| processing of biological materials and the examining of | | | | pharmaceutical manufacturing as well. From the |
| microscopic organisms biotechnology has come a far | | | | production of antibiotics to the purification and |
| way since the traditional days of fermentation like | | | | separation processes for biomolecules. Biotechnology |
| techniques, which also is a part of biotechnology. | | | | has its presence felt almost everywhere. |
| In the earlier times, biotechnology's application was | | | | Biotechnology plays a massive role in the field of |
| limited to agriculture and in the production of | | | | medicine as well. As more and more genetic diseases |
| fermented food products but with the discovery of | | | | are brought into picture it is through biotechnology |
| newer and much complicated data comprising of the | | | | that we try and find ways and means of manipulating |
| most smallest of structures that are measured in | | | | the genes and discovering the cure for the disease. |
| microns biotechnology has been found fruitful in the | | | | Also with the depleting natural resources for fuel and |
| production of many useful products that improves | | | | the environmental effects caused by the use of the |
| the quality of life of mankind. The categories of | | | | conventional fuels can be curbed to a certain extent |
| science like genetic engineering, animal cell culture, | | | | with the proper manifestation of biotechnology in the |
| plant cell culture, microbiology, molecular biology, | | | | production of biorenewable fuel from crops. |
| cytogenetics, cryopreservation, bioprocessing, | | | | Biotechnology can speed the production of ethanol |
| biochemistry, cell biology, embryology, immunology | | | | and methane for natural gas from these crops. |
| and bioinformatics all these come under | | | | Overall, biotechnology improves the quality of life and |
| biotechnology. | | | | brings in new horizons of modern techniques in |
| Biotechnology has wide prospects when it comes to | | | | various aspects of human life. |
