Medicine: In the field of medicine, Biotech has resulted in the discovery and mass production of 'small molecule pharmaceutical drug'. Other examples include Genetic testing and genetic diagnoses of diseases.
Agriculture: Biotech has led to the development of GMC (genetically modified crops) which was able to bring about Green revolution and increase world production of food approx. 10 times.
In animals, selective breeding and mutation breeding are examples of how Biotech has helped in factory farming methods.
Conservation: Biotechnology is being used to harness the potential of creating energy from plant-based sources such as Plankton and Algae. Biotech has also led to the development of trees and plants which are more resilient to climate change and can help in transforming communities
Biotechnology, by the word itself is a technology that is centered in
biology. It is the exploitation of biological process. Biotechnology has
harness the cellular and bio molecular processes to develop technologies and
product that help us elevate our lives. With the help of biotechnology, we are
able to modify the products for its specific use. Let me give you an example of
the following:
<span>1. </span>Medicine: In medicine, the modern biotechnology had
provided products that could combat rare diseases. Currently, around 250
biotechnology health care products and vaccines were made as well as those that
are known to be untreated.
<span>2. </span>Agriculture: With the help of biotechnology, we can
reduce some of the environmental footprint. It has been reported that it is
more than 13.3 million farmers used biotechnology products to prevent damage
from the yield cause by the pest.
<span>3. </span>Conservation: Biotechnology also help us reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
When a previously occupied area gets colonized by a new dominant group of species or communities, this is known as secondary succession. In secondary succession, new residents take the place of earlier groups in a habitat that has been affected by an ecological disturbance.
