Genetic Engineering: The Revolutionary Aspect of Biotechnology
Biotechnology's most important branch is genetic engineering, which involves making specific changes to an organism's DNA to add new attributes. It has brought advancements from food production to disease treatment across various fields.
In agriculture, engineering has played an efficient role in developing disease-resistant and pest-tolerant crops. This has increased productivity and ensured food security.
In healthcare, therapy has been providing solutions for difficult diseases to treat. For instance, modifications have been playing effective roles in treating anemia and hemophilia.
In the environment, special types of bacteria have been created that play an impactful role in pollution control and biofuel production.
Genetics is now not just technological, but a milestone in the field of innovation and sustainability.
