  1. What Is Biotechnology By: Daniel Sollecito And Sara Nall Date:2-21-11 P.7th

  2. biotechnology is using living things to create and improve

  3. Agriculture field • Biotechnology improves the agriculture by using genetic engineering to modify the genetic composition of plants animals and microorganisms. Biotechnology is used to modify crop plants.

  4. Medical field • Biotechnology is used for making vaccines and drugs to determine the origin of diseases.

  5. Criminal field • Biotechnology improves the criminal field by helping scientist discover the DNA sequence of a criminal.

  6. Food field • Biotechnology provides new tools for improving plant and animal health so we have healthier food to eat.

  7. Biotechnology improves… • Corn-biotechnology improves corn. Scientists are always trying to improve corn so they are healthier. scientists improve corn by modifying their DNA to make them repel insects. • Cows- scientists are always selecting cows so they are bigger, and healthier and they produce more milk. • Pigs- scientists select pigs so that they are fatter and healthier. • Medicine- biotechnology improves medicine by producing more vaccines and medicines to help improve human health. • Forensics- biotechnology helps people catch criminals by discovering the DNA sequence.

  8. Biotechnology and our future • Biotechnology is already affecting our future. It develops new medicines to keep us healthier and develops plants and animals that are healthier for us to eat.
