IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
BIOTECHNOLOGY
Utilize techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA), to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organism
Deal with techniques of using live organisms or enzymes from organisms to produce products and processes useful to humans
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
BIOTECHNOLOGY
“Any technological application that uses biological systems, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products for specific use” (The UN Convention on Biological Diversity) !
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
GENETIC ENGINEERING
The techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA), to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organism

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
RESTRICTION ENZYMES
Enzymes that are used to cut DNA segment at a specific site are called restriction enzymes
