eHistory of biotechnology From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services.[1] From its inception‚ biotechnology has maintained a close relationship with society. Although now most often associated with the development of remarkable drugs‚ historically biotechnology has been principally associated with food‚ addressing such issues as malnutrition and famine

Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. 349 out of 2.37 million males aged 5-24 were reported to have DMD or BMD in the United States. This means that about 15 of every 100‚000 males aged between 5-24 were affected that year. Also‚ a close friend of mine had muscular dystrophy so it played a role in my life. I wanted to know if it could be cured and if not was there any treatments for it. Muscular dystrophy could potentially be cured through

Biotechnology has helped to improve the lives of people for many years‚ and though the methods vary in its application‚ there is much that it has done towards assisting mankind. Technologists or scientists have the perspective of biotechnology as a means of providing modern techniques and ideas to enhance and improve agricultural production‚ advance in the medical field for the treatment of diseases and forensics as intricate cases are solved. The impact on society by biotechnologists in the area

Recombinant DNA technology is fascinating in that it has developed into a multi-billion dollar industry‚ and completely revolutionized agriculture and pharmaceutical industries‚ all within the past 50 years. According to one account‚ biotechnology was born during a meeting in Hawaii in 1972 between Stanford medical professor Stanley Cohen‚ and biochemist Herbert Boyer

Biotechnology Biotechnology are genetic modifications referring to “altering the genetic trait of a living organism by using recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology to transfer one or more genes from one organism to another by crossing biological species.”[65] New developments in molecular and cell biology allow scientists to modify foods by the identification‚ copying‚ and insertion of genes into plants. It can whether be a good or bad thing depending on a lot of personal

Ans: Few religious groups like Catholics and Muslims have some problems with modifying the original genome structure of specific organism. These two religions feel using biotechnology and altering the genome is modifying the God’s creation and it is considered as “playing with god”. Muslims also have problem that they can’t eat anything that contains anything from Pig
