In the world today the feild that is fast gaining popularity, not only amongst the scientists but also amongst the general public, is that of BIOTECHNOLOGY.It is asection of science that involvesmany other aspects like genetics,microbiology,cell biology,biochemistry and the most interesting aspect being the recombinant DNA technology.
Biotechnology as a whole can be said to be a study of various organisms,their life cycles,the various processes taking place within them and their morphology to use these for the betterment of humanity.Biotechnology inculdes the use of various
organisms and various processes to use these organisms for the benefit of humans and animals.
Biotechnology has served a great deal in improving the lives of humans.It has lead to the discovery of various new medicines and artificially manufactured substances that have helped a great deal in curing and preventing many deadly diseases.The two most interesting,important and beneficial aspects of Biotechnology have been
genetics and Recombinant DNA
TECHNOLOGY (RDT).
The detailed studies and researches in the above two aspects have lead to the many other beneficial processes like Cloning and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction).
The studies in Genetics and RDT has lead to the discovery of the ganetic basis of various diseases like cancer and has helped a great deal in providing a better cure for such diseases.The RDT has also lead to production of various Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) which have special qualities like pest resistance,disease resistance and many more.These qualities have lead to the longer life of plants and an increase in their products.
Not only this biotechnology has lead to the production of various artificially produced
antibiotics and hormones which have proved helpful in finding a cure various deadly diseases.
Thus, I would end by saying that Biotechnology is a scientific feild which is not only gonna revolutionize the
human race but also prove very beneficial for its existence.
