Biotechnology is the use of biological processes for things such as the genetic manipulation of organisms to help in the production of antibiotics, hormones, and more.

Gene therapy and stem cells are also used as biotechnology in the medical field.

Genetic Biotechnology studies how the characteristics of organisms are passed down from one generation to its offspring.

Genetic biotechnology also applies to this unit because it is focused around the study and replication of DNA/reproduction of cells.

Genetic engineering plays a major role in modern biotechnology. It enables researchers to identify certain genes to determine their proteins, cut DNA sequences, activate cells to produce desired proteins, and extract proteins for therapeutic uses.
