BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology is a field of apllied biology that involves the use of living organims and bioprocesses in engineering,technology,medicine and other fields requiring byoproducts.Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture tecnology.The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organims according to human puposes-going back to elastication of animals,cultivation of plants,and "improvements" to these through breading programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization.By comparison by biotechnology,bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field with is emphases more on higher systems approaches for interfating with and utilizing living things.
The United Nations convention on Biological divercity defines biotechnology as "any technologycal application that uses biological systems,living organisms,or derivatives,to make or modify products or processes for specific use".
