प्रश्न
Explain any two commercial applications of biotechnology.
उत्तर
Commercial Applications of Biotechnology:
- Crop Biotechnology: Biotechnology is used in agricultural field to improve yield and variety like production of hybird seeds in which genes of two different crops are recombined to form hybrids of various crops. This is especially useful for fruits.
- Human Health: Biotechnology helps to identify the role of genes, if any, in the disease of a person. Diagnosis of diabetes and heart diseases has become possible even before the onset of symptoms, with the help of biotechnology. Diagnosis of the diseases like AIDS, and Dengue can be done within a few minutes. Hence, treatment can be done at the earliest.
