Biotechnology is the “technology based on biology.” Specifically, it involves the use of living systems and organisms—or their derivatives—to develop or make products for specific uses. Modern biotechnology is heavily underpinned by Genetic Engineering (recombinant DNA technology), which allows us to transfer specific genes from one organism to another to achieve desired traits.
Biotechnology involves using biological systems and organisms to develop products and processes, with applications in medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental management.
