what is the difference b/w biotechnology & genetic engineering ????????

Question

what r the courses offered in both of them at post graduation level ???????????

Answer 1

Genetic engineering, genetic modification (GM) and gene splicing are terms for the process of manipulating genes, generally implying that the process is outside the organism's natural reproductive process.

The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has come up with one of many definitions of biotechnology:[1]

"Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use."

From these 2 definitions you can see that genetic engineering is a branch of biotechnology.

Answer 2

Biotechnology And Genetic Engineering

Answer 3

Genetic engineering is actually a type of biotechnology. So there reason there are two classes is biotechnology will give you an overview of the topic while genetic engineering will allow you to specialize into a specific type.

Biotech is mother branch of genetics or genetic engineering. Genetics includes manipulation of genes, study about any organism traits, DNA mapping, cloning etc. Biotech cover all other topics plus things like manufacture of drugs, making antibiotics even sewage treatment. Making special breading environment for certain cells etc. These studies are not a part genetics.

Answer 5

GENETIC ENGINEERING:
Genetic Engineering, alteration of an organism's genetic, or hereditary, material to eliminate undesirable characteristics or to produce desirable new ones. Genetic engineering is used to increase plant and animal food production; to help dispose of industrial wastes; and to diagnose disease, improve medical treatment, and produce vaccines and other useful drugs. Included in genetic engineering techniques are the selective breeding of plants and animals, hybridization (reproduction between different strains or species), and recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
BIOTECHNOLOGY:
Biotechnology, the manipulation of biological organisms to make products that benefit human beings. Biotechnology contributes to such diverse areas as food production, waste disposal, mining, and medicine.

Although biotechnology has existed since ancient times, some of its most dramatic advances have come in more recent years. Modern achievements include the transferal of a specific gene from one organism to another (by means of a set of genetic engineering techniques known as transgenics); the maintenance and growth of genetically uniform plant- and animal-cell cultures, called clones; and the fusing of different types of cells to produce beneficial medical products such as monoclonal antibodies, which are designed to attack a specific type of foreign substance.
