    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.
