Classical Biotechnology

Grafting

is a horticultural technique that involves joining parts of two or more plants together so that they grow as a single plant. This is done by cutting a stem or bud from one plant and attaching it to the rootstock of another plant. Grafting is commonly used to propagate fruit trees, as it allows for the production of multiple varieties on a single tree. It can also be used to repair damaged trees or to create ornamental plants with unique characteristics.

Genetic Engineering and Chemical Engineering

Principle of Biotechnology

Genetic Engineering

deals with the modification of genetic material of an organism.

Bacterium

first genetic modification

Recombinant DNA

combines DNA from different sources to create a new molecule. It involves cutting DNA at specific locations and splicing the pieces together. It has many applications, including creating genetically modified organisms, producing therapeutic proteins, and studying gene function. However, it raises ethical concerns about safety and potential misuse.

GMOs

Gene cloning

is a technique used to produce multiple copies of a single gene. Process of making an exact duplicate of the genetic material.

Chemical Engineering

applies physical and life sciences, math, and economics to produce, transform, transport, and use chemicals, materials, and energy. It involves designing, developing, and operating chemical processes and plants for various products, including pharmaceuticals, fuels, and plastics. Chemical engineers also work to minimize waste and reduce pollution for environmental protection and sustainability.
