7 types of biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ microbial
agricultural
animal
forensic
bioremediation
aquatic
medical
microbial biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ use of microorganisms to make valuable products
and applications
ex. use gen. modified cells to make proteins of interest
agricultural biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ genetically engineer plants to make valuable
products
reasons: to be more environmentally friendly, resistance against bugs, higher protein, drugs,
tolerance to weather
animal biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ genetically engineer animals to make valuable
products
reasons: used as "bioreactors" for producing medically valuable proteins, used as model
organisms, organismal cloning
transgenic animal - correct answer ✔✔ way to achieve large scale production of therapeutic
proteins from animals for use in humans
- female transgenic animals express theraputic proteins in milk
, gene knockout - correct answer ✔✔ disrupt a gene in the animal ad then look at what functions
are affected in the animal as a result of the loss of the gene.
allows for determining the role and function of the gene.
ex. humans similar to mice and rats
forensic biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ analysis and application of biological evidence
such as DNA sequence data to detect an organisms unique DNA pattern
reasons: solve crimes, determine paternity, etc.
bioremediation biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ use of living organisms to process, degrade,
and clean up naturally occurring or human-made pollutants in the environment
reasons: break down oil, degrade human wastes, degrade hazardous materials, bioaccumulate
heavy metals
bioremediation - correct answer ✔✔ the use of biotechnology to process and degrade a variety
of natural and human-made substances
aquatic biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ use of aquatic organisms such as finfish, shellfish,
marine bacteria, and aquatic plants for biotechnology applications.
reasons: genetically engineer disease-resistant strains of oysters, develop vaccines against
viruses of salmon, overproduce growth hormone of fish, etc.
aquaculture - correct answer ✔✔ raising finfish or shellfish in controlled conditions for use as
food sources
medical biotechnology - correct answer ✔✔ use of organisms to improve the entire spectrum
of human health and medicine
