  1. What is Biotechnology? By: John Edwards Kevin Morales

  2. Agricultural Biotechnology • Agriculture in biotech has the potential to make new and healthier foods and aggrandize for health benediction. • It helps magnifying crop yields baffled scientists environmental risks.

  3. Agricultural Biotechnology (continued) • Examples: *Animal drugs *Food processing aids *Engineering microorganisms * Engineering insects *Engineering fiber plants *Herbicide

  4. DNA Fingerprinting • DNA fingerprinting is a test to identify a genetic called DNA. • It would be very unlikely to have two people with the same DNA, for this reason police use this to identify pedestrians who have caused a crime. • Things like hair, blood, and saliva contain DNA in them.

  5. DNA Fingerprinting (continued) • Police use powder to a place where they would most likely find finger prints and brush it off to see it and put it on a clear piece of paper. They also use UV lights used to make clear on surfaces and on clothes.

  6. Food Field • Biotechnology in the process of food production has been for over 10 thousand years. • It is used to make bread, wine and beer. • With new and healthier biotech and genetic engineering it enables food produces to obtain animal and crop improvements in much more precise, controlled and predicted manner.

  7. Medical Biotechnology • Medical biotechnology is the use of living cells and cell materials to research and produce pharmaceutical and diagnostic products that help treat and prevent human diseases. • Examples of medical biotechnology are growth hormones, and insulin ,and printing skin

  8. Products of Biotech • Products: *Bacterial Vaccines *Pharmaceuticals *Round-Up Ready Corn *Cloning Pets *Cups made of corn *Enviro-Pig *Ethanol *Bt-Corn *Glow in the Dark Pets *Printable Skin

  9. Questions? • How does agricultural biotechnology help make foods healthier? • What are 2 ways police get DNA from suspects? • How does making food healthier effect people? • Why would somebody need to print skin? • Why is biotech important?
