Modern biotechnology is the term used to describe a range of processes and techniques especially at the molecular level. Examples of biotechnology applicationsof particular interest to the Department include cell culture, genomics, molecular marker-assisted breeding, cloning, bioprocessing and diagnostic testing as well as gene technology (genetic modification).
Traditional biotechnology involves using living organisms or their products to make products, while modern biotechnology involves using genetic engineering and advanced technologies to manipulate the genetic makeup of organisms for specific purposes. Traditional biotechnology has been used for centuries, while modern biotechnology is a more recent development. Traditional biotechnology often relies on natural selection and breeding, while modern biotechnology allows for more precise and targeted genetic modifications.
Advantage: Modern biotechnology allows for the development of advanced medical treatments, improved crop yields, and more efficient production processes. Disadvantage: Concerns about the ethical implications of genetic modification, potential environmental risks, and unequal access to the benefits of biotechnology are some of the disadvantages associated with modern biotechnology.
Biotechnology can be classified as traditional and modern. Traditional biotechnology involves using living organisms to produce useful products like bread and cheese. Modern biotechnology involves techniques like genetic engineering to modify organisms for applications such as medicine and crop improvement.
Paul Berg is often credited as the father of modern biotechnology for his pioneering work in recombinant DNA technology. His research laid the foundation for modern genetic engineering techniques and the development of biotechnological applications.
Traditional biotechnology is centered around passivetechniques such as selective breeding to procure a population that shares a specific phenotype (trait). In the case of plants, this use to be done via simple cross pollination (google Gregor Mendel).Modern biotechnology uses gene manipulation to activelyengineer organisms with certain characteristics (e.g. bacteria with a gene that codes for a pharmaceutical protein).

Traditional biotechnology refers to processes that are based on the inherent capability of organic agents for creating a reaction that leads to a product. Modern biotechnology is when inherent capabilities of organisms are manipulated in order to make a valuable product or to cause the organism to be more desirable.

both are technology to increase yields
Paul Berg is often referred to as the father of modern biotechnology. He pioneered the development of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s, which allowed researchers to manipulate and recombine DNA from different sources, leading to significant advancements in the field of biotechnology.

Biotechnology has improved farming in modern agriculture by enabling the development of genetically modified crops that are more resistant to pests and diseases. These crops also have improved yields and nutritional content, helping to feed a growing global population. Additionally, biotechnology has led to the development of sustainable agricultural practices that reduce the environmental impact of farming.
Biotechnology has improved farming and modern agriculture by enabling the development of genetically modified crops that are more resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stress. This has helped increase crop yields, reduce the need for chemical pesticides, and improve crop quality. Biotechnology has also paved the way for the development of new plant varieties with enhanced nutritional content and shelf life.
