  • Biotechnology: Answers to Common Questions
    FSR0030 Biotechnology: Answers to Common Questions Kevin Keener, Assistant Professor of Food Science Thomas Hoban, Professor of Sociology and Food Science N.C. Cooperative Extension Service N.C. State University We are entering the “Century of Biology.” Recent developments in the biological sciences are giving us a better understanding of the natural world. At the same type we are developing new tools that are collectively referred to as “biotechnology.” These help us address problems related to human health, food production, and the environment. Any new technology – particularly one as far-reaching as biotechnology – will generate interest, as well as concerns. Because the science behind biotechnology is complex, misconceptions arise over its impacts and implications. In this publication we will answer questions many people have about biotechnology. These questions are organized along the lines of a news story: what, when, who, where, why, and how. We also provide a list of additional information sources available on the Internet. Our primary focus will be on the uses of biotechnology in agriculture and food production since these appear to be more controversial than other applications (at least up until this time). What is Biotechnology? In its broadest sense, biotechnology refers to the use of living systems to develop products. New scientific discoveries are allowing us to better understand fundamental life processes at the cellular and molecular level. Now we can improve selected attributes of microbes, plants, or animals for human use by making precise genetic changes that were not possible with traditional methods. All living organisms contain genes that carry the hereditary traits between generations.

  • Genetic Engineering (3500 Words)
    Genetic Engineering (3500 words) Biology Also known as: biotechnology, gene splicing, recombinant DNA technology Anatomy or system affected: All Specialties and related fields: Alternative medicine, biochemistry, biotechnology, dermatology, embryology, ethics, forensic medicine, genetics, pharmacology, preventive medicine Definition: Genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology and biotechnology – the buzz words you may have heard often on radio or TV, or read about in featured articles in newspapers or popular magazines. It is a set of techniques that are used to achieve one or more of three goals: to reveal the complex processes of how genes are inherited and expressed, to provide better understanding and effective treatment for various diseases, (particularly genetic disorders) and to generate economic benefits which include improved plants and animals for agriculture, and efficient production of valuable biopharmaceuticals. The characteristics of genetic engineering possess both vast promise and potential threat to human kind. It is an understatement to say that genetic engineering will revolutionize the medicine and agriculture in the 21st future. As this technology unleashes its power to impact our daily life, it will also bring challenges to our ethical system and religious beliefs. Key terms: GENETIC ENGINEERING: the collection of a wide array of techniques that alter the genetic constitution of cells or individuals by selective removal, insertion, or modification of individual genes or gene sets GENE CLONING: the development
