QUESTION 1 Genetic information has become part of our culture and it is difficult to tell the difference between unmodified and
genetically modified food sources such as plant and animals. After reading this module’s material regarding vectors in biotechnology, consider the potential for nanotechnology and scientific advancement. Research nanotechnology and its potential use in biotechnology. In one or two paragraphs, explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in health care, agriculture, or industry and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.
Nanotechnology is a field of producing materials and devices from atoms and molecules.
Explanation:
Nanotechnology is a field that concerned with producing materials and devices from atoms and molecules. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter in size. Nanotechnology can be used to “recognize” the cells of interest which allows associated drugs to reach diseased tissue without damaging healthy cells. Nanotechnology produces new and faster kinds of computers, more efficient power sources and more effective medical treatments. Main disadvantages include threats to security, privacy, health and the environment. More research must be done in this field to get more benefits from it.
