Study Notes
- Biotechnology uses microbes, plants, and animals to produce useful products.
- Tissue culture and somatic hybridization can manipulate plants to produce new varieties.
- Recombinant DNA technology can engineer organisms to have novel capabilities.
- Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created using non-natural methods to transfer genes.
- GM crops can increase yields, reduce post-harvest losses, and be more tolerant to stresses.
- Recombinant DNA technology has enabled mass production of safe and effective therapeutics.
- Transgenic animals are used as models for human diseases.
- Gene therapy involves inserting genes into an individual's cells and tissues to treat diseases.
- Viruses can be used as vectors to transfer healthy genes.
- The manipulation of organisms raises ethical questions.
