Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction on Biotechnology:

The use of biotechnology is vast; it involves diagnostics and therapeutics; in agriculture, it is used for genetically modified crops; other applications include food processing, bioremediation, waste treatment, and energy production. Biotechnology utilizes biological systems, living organisms, or parts of these to develop or create different products. It deals with industrial-scale production of biopharmaceuticals and biologicals using genetically modified microbes, fungi, plants, and animals. It extracts cellular and molecular processes to develop products and technologies that could help improve human life on earth.
