Biotechnology is a process (or a technology) that is used to create products like medicines by using micro-organisms, plants and animals. The biotechnology industry has seen some major breakthroughs during the past few decades that have had a major effect on the medicines and technologies used to treat life threatening diseases throughout the world such as Alzheimer’s disease, various cancers, Diabetes, AIDS and Multiple Sclerosis. As well as improving our healthcare systems, biotechnology is used in the production of various foods. Pesticides made using biotechnology are being used to improve our food supply thus making it safer and also reducing the need to use chemical pesticides. Biotechnology applications have led to a cleaner environment as they produce less waste and use less energy and water. DNA fingerprinting is also a process that involves biotechnology which has also dramatically improved criminal investigation and forensic science. Course material ~ DNA Biotechnology and Enzymes
