applications of biotechnology in the field of agriculture and medicine are:
Antibiotics are created from the plants for human and animal use. An antibiotic protein in stock feed is more cost-effective than traditional antibiotic production.
It helps in the production of genetically modified crops that produce crops with desired characteristics.
Gene therapy is used for the diagnoses of diseases like cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
Genetic testing is another technique that is used to diagnose any genetic diseases in theparents.
DNA fingerprinting is used in the identification of criminals and solving paternity disputes.

Segregation of alleles happens when the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring. So if you had heterozygous tall plants and mated them (Tt x Tt), they would each separate into T and t, allowing each offspring to get either a T or a t from each parent. The possible genotypes would be TT, Tt and tt.
Answer:
Biodiversity is a variation of organisms (plants, animals and bacteria) in the world or a specific habitat. Biodiversity helps to keep an ecosystem healthy because there is more variation of food and different organisms can rely on each other for survival. Also it offers a larger more reliable food chain and if one species is suddenly wiped out, it won't impact the ecosystem as much as it would if the biodiversity was smaller.

Answer:
The correct option is B) a pattern of biological functioning that occurs on a 24-hour cycle.
Explanation:
Biological rhythm is defined as the regular variation of an organic function related to the course of time, circadian biological phenomena (around the day), are those with a period of approximately 24 hours.
Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a daily cycle (the biological rhythm), and that respond primarily to light and darkness in an organism's environment. This cycle close to 24 hours, allows to recognize the sleep-wake phenomena and their homeostatic action, in the systemic processes of every living being. The circadian system is composed of photoreceptors, pacemakers and efferent pathways that allow a regular functioning of the sleep and wakeful state.
