🔆BIOTECHNOLOGY
✅Biotechnology is the use of biological systems found in organisms or the use of the living organisms themselves to make technological advances and adapt those technologies to various fields.
▪️COLOR CLASSIFICATION OF BRANCHES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY:
✅ Gold biotechnology or Bioinformatics: Computational Biology > address biological problems using computational techniques.
✅Red Biotechnology: Biopharma > relates to medicine and veterinary products.
✅ White Biotechnology: Industrial Biotech > to design more energy efficient, low resource consuming products.
✅ Yellow Biotechnology: Biotech in Food Industry.
✅Grey Biotechnology: Environmental applications to maintain Biodiversity.
✅ Green Biotechnology: Emphasizes on Agriculture interests.
✅ Blue Biotechnology: based on use of marine resources.
✅Violet Biotechnology: deals with law, ethical and philosophical issues of biotechnology.
✅Dark Biotechnology: associated with bioterrorism and biological weapons.
▪️GENE:
✅Gene is the basic physical unit of inheritance.
✅It is a part of the DNA in a cell that controls the physical development, behaviour, etc. of an individual plant or animal & is passed on from its parents.
▪️GENOME:
✅Genome is the complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organisms.
✅The human genome is a complex set of instructions, like
a recipe book, directing organism growth & development.
▪️GENOMIC ORGANIZATION:
✅ This refers to the linear order of DNA elements and their division into chromosomes.
✅ Can also refer to the 3D structure of chromosomes & the positioning of DNA sequences within the nucleus.
▪️CHROMOSOME:
✅These are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal & plant cells.
✅Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of Deoxyribose-Nucleic Acid (DNA).
✅ Chromosomes are a key part of the process that ensures DNA is accurately copied and distributed in the vast majority of cell divisions.
✅Changes in the number or structure of chromosomes in new cells may lead to serious problems like: Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome etc.
