The importance of Biotechnology is :-
1. Biopesticides : production of pest resistant plants such that the amount of pesticides being used is decreased. example, Bt cotton, Bt corn etc.
2. Gene Therapy : it allows correction of a genetic defect that has been diagnosed in a child or embryo. The defective genes are replaced by the normal genes.

IMPORTANCE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
- ELISA technique (based on antigen-antibody interaction) can be used to diagnose diseases like AIDS
- Covid detection test by RT-PCR Technique
- Transgenic cow producing human protein enriched milk with antibodies like IgA, IgG
- Pests resistance and genetically modified organisms

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, also called ELISA is a test that detects and measures antibodies in your blood. This test can be used to determine if you have antibodies related to certain infectious conditions. I.E AIDS AND COVID

1. Biotechnology has played important role in improving human health by producing enriched nutrients in food products.
2. Therapeutic proteins have great effect against a variety of non-communicable diseases. Helps in effective treatment and prevention against many diseases.

Importance of Biotechnology
1. Biotechnology in medicines- it is widely used in development of new techniques for diagnosing diseases.
2. Used in agriculture - biotechnology in agriculture helps in improving food quality and quantity and processing

IMPORTANCE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY:

Transgenic animals are the ones in whom a new and altered gene has been inserted experimentally into the genome by the process of genetic engineering with the help of biotechnology.

Biotechnology helps in the production of antibiotics, vaccines, artificial hormones with the use of plants.

Genetically modified organisms- genetically modified plants are resistant to abiotic stress.

Insulin is genetically engineered instead of extraction from pancreas of slaughtered cattle.

1. IN VITRO FERTILISATION  -  The fertilization of sperm and egg from male and female takes place outside the female body in in-vitro lab conditions. This technique is used when there is a fear of disease in the embryo or insufficient semen. It is mainly used for research purposes for the production of superior breeds.                                          2. LIVE STOCK PRODUCTION   Livestock is an important source of protein and vitamins needed to maintain good health. Not only meat but other benefits that we get from it. That includes eggs, milk, leather, etc. These items are important for the production of many consumable food items in the food and leather industry which have no other sources than livestock.

There are numerous benefits of biotechnology in todays fast speeding world, some of them are :-

[1] Use of biotechnology in Medicine - health care :  Many biotech drug products are used to treat certain disease like Alzheimer's, diabetes etc. , Also many diagnostic techniques like ELISA, PCR, especially RT-PCR used nowadays for COVID-19 detection. Vaccines are also made by the application of biotechnology

[2] Industrial gain:-
Many food products like Wheat, rice etc., are enriched with higher proteins, vitamins etc., which help in overcoming micronutrient deficiency of the world. Many biocatalyst are used by chemical industries to produce chemical substances. Significant progress has been made in creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that enhance the diversity of applications.
