Biotechnology can be defined as using living organisms and to develop new products that can help human beings. Biotechnology has had an impact as follows:
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.
First step of the initiation stage is the binding of a specific initiator methionyl tRNA and the mRNA to the small ribosomal subunit.
Gametophyte
The cells from the male and female that combine to form a zygote are called gametes. The main job of the gametophyte is gamete production. Gametes are haploid reproductive cells. Gametes are produced in the sex organs on the haploid gametophyte by mitosis or cellular division without reduction of chromosomes sets. There are two sex organs; archegonium<span> which is found in the female sex organ producing egg cell and </span>antheridium<span> which is found in the male sex organ producing sperm cells.</span>
