प्रश्न
How is Biotechnology useful for human health?
उत्तर
- Biotechnology plays an important role in the identification of genes that cause disease in humans.
- Due to biotechnology faster diagnosis of diseases like diabetes, AIDS and dengue is possible, sometimes even before the onset of symptoms.
- For the treatment of diseases like diabetes, insulin is produced by inserting the insulin producing gene into the genome of bacteria, using biotechnological techniques.
- Vaccines, interferons and antibiotics are produced against specific pathogens or diseases.
- Gene therapy is used to treat genetic disorders in somatic cells and germline cells.
- Using therapeutic cloning, stem cells or genes can be cloned in order to treat hereditary diseases.
