The document provides an overview of the field of biotechnology, including its history, key areas and applications. It discusses topics like genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, transgenic plants and animals, DNA microarrays, bioinformatics, and careers in biotechnology. The future prospects of biotechnology in addressing global challenges like food security and healthcare are also highlighted.
6. Animal cloning Gene cloning for pharmaceutical production The promise and perhaps perils of embryonic stem cells DNA fingerprinting Genetically modified foods and the American-European opinion divide.
19. Transgenic Animals Animals that undergo deliberate modification in the structure of its genome by inserting genes of other species. Transgenesis produced animals like mice, pig, cattle and sheep . This technology has applications in agriculture and medicine
