what is biotechnology since bio is usually related to living organisms and technology related to mechanics and Computing so perhaps biotechnology is related to bionic augmented superhumans actually not quite so technology is the use of techniques and science to make products or modify processes biotechnology is the use of of living organisms AKA bio to make products or modify processes before we can go on to application we have to understand how living things work right indeed it is hence every major breakthrough in biology understanding is followed by novel biotechnology for example in 1865 Mando discovered the law of inheritance which basically says that by biological traits are passed on to the next Generation through particular ratios and expressed according to dominance this would later lay the foundation of artificial breeding in agriculture where animals and plants are bred selectively to develop preferred biological traits in modern day the central principle behind biology lies in genetics or DNA DNA's building blocks a t g c can be seen as sort of a life code that is universal to all living things a string of these Live codes put together in a particular sequence instructs specific protein formation resulting in Life as we know it this is kind of similar to how alphabets in English can be regarded as communication codes and Universal to all English words a string of alphabets or communication codes put together in a particular sequence instructs a particular word resulting in the communication as we know it the technological application through the understanding of genetics resulted in many applications ranging from GMO crops in agriculture to gene therapy in medicine it usually employs the method of introducing DNA from one spe species to another or silencing existing genes to achieve specific biological traits think about it in a certain way it is kind of similar to forming new words like chillax from chill and relax so in summary biotechnology is the technological application of biology oriented to serve our life what are some biotechnology you could think of and what is the future of biote share it to First [Music]
