Zoology - Biotechnology - Principles and Processes Question with Solution | TestHub

The two core techniques that enabled the birth of modern biotechnology are
(i) Genetic engineering: It involves the techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA) to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organism.
(ii) Bioprocess engineering: It is the process of maintaining sterile ambience in chemical engineering processes to enable the growth of only the desired microbe/eukaryotic cell in large quantities for the manufacture of biotechnological products like antibiotics, vaccines, enzymes, etc.
