Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering

Changing Life With Science

Biotechnology uses biochemistry to improve crops, cure diseases, and create useful products. Genetic engineering means changing DNA to give organisms new abilities.

Real-World Uses

  • GMOs (genetically modified organisms) can be made more nutritious or resistant to pests.
  • Gene therapy can fix faulty genes that cause disease.

These powerful tools are shaping the future of food, medicine, and the environment.

Examples

  • Golden rice is engineered to have extra vitamins.

  • Gene therapy is being tested to cure certain inherited disorders.
