Biotechnology and Genetic Engineeringm:
Biotechnology can be described as the modification and technical improvement of living organisms, or the application of scientific and engineering principles to the manufacture of substances with vital media such as microorganisms, animal, plant or enzyme cells to provide goods and services that include agricultural, animal, microbial and fish products, food processing and preparations Medical. The scientific basis of biotechnology includes several scientific branches, most notably molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, botany, zoology, immunology, chemical engineering, process engineering, computer and data processing. They range from processes that have ancient histories such as fermentation (traditional biotechnology) to genetic engineering (molecular biotechnology), that is, the ability to isolate a gene from an organism and transfer it to another organism, thus creating genetically modified plants and animals that "have the desired characteristics".
Genetic engineering is a powerful tool with great hopes for medicine, agriculture, industry, food security and the environment. Since the mid-1970s, research has advanced considerably to the extent that the talk about the "genetic engineering revolution" has emerged, yet it raises many sensitive issues: moral, legal and social, as well as issues related to its vital safety.
