BIOTECHNOLOGY *Domesticate* -- to tame and cultivate a wild animal or plant for human use. *Classical Breeding* -- practice that involves mating organisms with desired traits. **BIOTECHNOLOGY** - biology and technology - large scale industrial use of organisms, biological parts, and biological processes of a microorganism to produce substances or provide service to mankind. TRADITIONAL BIOTECHNOLOGY MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Involves using living organisms or their products for useful purposes Involves genetic engineering and manipulating living organisms Used for over thousands of years Most recent development Generally used for agriculture and food production Has a much wider range, such as medicine and bioremediation *Examples of Traditional Biotechnology:* - *Kobe Beef/Wagyu Beef* - *Macapuno* - *Guapple (Large guava)* *Example of Modern Biotechnology:* - *Human insulin producing bacteria* - *GMO Flavr Savr Tomato (delays ripening)*
