Biotechnology Biotechnology is the way in which man uses other organisms to make useful products. Yeast has been used for centuries to make beer, wine and bread. Moulds have been employed in cheese making, and bacteria in yogurt making. Single- Cell Protein (SCP) Microorganisms are single cell organisms which can be cultured to rapidly produce foodstuffs rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Microorganisms are grown in large fermenters where nutrient, pH and temperature are constantly monitored

results proved that E. Coli could be transformed using foreign plasmid DNA to form Ampicillin resistance. INTORDUCTION Genetic Engineering is important in several fields of biotechnology and is bigger than ever in improving human insulin. There are many examples today on the use of genetic engineering and biotechnology. First and foremost is creating bacteria that improve human insulin; others are frost and pest resistance in agriculture and the breakdown of pollutants involved in bioremediation

Manipulating Life: The Ethics and Science of Biotechnology The question of whether humans should have the right to clone themselves leads to interesting questions on the nature of human individuality. There is also the ethical question of whether human reproductive cloning in order to replicate ones genetic identity should be allowed at all. If reproductive cloning to create an entire human being were possible, and accessibility and cost were not a factor, should humans have the unrestricted
