BIOTECHNOLO
- GY
is a field of study called that uses living things to
create new products. Karl Ereky is known by some as
the founder of biotechnology. He coined the term
"biotechnology" for the first time in 1919. In addition,
he is a Hungarian agricultural engineer.

APPLICATIONS
OF
BIOTECHNOLO
GENE THERAPY
The process of changing a person's
genes to treat or prevent disease is
known as gene therapy. Germline gene
therapy is used for reproductive cells,
whereas somatic gene therapy is used
for non-reproductive cells. A rare
genetic condition was successfully
treated in 1990 by the first successful
gene therapy trial.
VACCINE
A vaccination is a preparation that stimulates
the immune system to identify and combat
diseases by exposing the body to
microorganisms that are inactive or weak in
order to initiate an attack. In May 1796, Dr.
Edward Jenner produced the first effective
vaccination in history.
PROS
• Better Farming: Enhanced techniques to increase
productivity.
• Resource efficiency: The more economical and
sustainable use of natural resources in industry.
• Extended Product Life: Modern biotechnology extends
the life of products.
CONS of Biotechnology
• Dependence on Technology: An overreliance on biotechnology may
lead to the extinction of biodiversity and traditional agricultural
methods.
• Health Risks: There are concerns about how eating genetically
modified foods may affect one's health in the long run.
• Environmental Concerns: Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
have the potential to disrupt ecosystems, introduce resistant pests,
and spread genes.
