BIOTECHNOLOGY

Biotechnology has been around for quite awhile but it has evolved greatly over time!

EARLY CIVILIZATION AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

EARLY CIVILIZATION USED BIOTECHNOLOGY IN 3 MAIN WAYS

• Food Production
• Plant Breeding
• Animal Breeding

FOOD PRODUCTION

• A big thing that became popular in early civilization was artificial fertilizers.
• The Green Revolution (1960) was a period of time where the global production of agriculture increased greatly.

PLANT BREEDING

• Plant breeding is the manipulation of plant species in order to create genotypes and phenotypes for specific purposes.
• They used plant breeding to produce plants that have more desirable traits then wild plants.
• A big way that plants were bred were though a process called hybridization. The goal of this process is to combine the desired genes of two or more plants to produce a new type of plant.

ANIMAL BREEDING

• The common pets we have today started out as wild animals.
• They domesticate these animals and they change into tamer animals.
• The first biotechnology used in animal breeding was when the took the DNA of two animals and made the offspring for greater genetic diversity.

HEREDITY

HEREDITY

• Heredity is the process of passing on a gene from the parents to the offspring.
• If anyone has ever told you that you look like one of your parents then that is from heredity.
• Your traits may not come directly from your parents, but you CAN NOT get a trait that is not in your family.

EVOLUTION

• Over time, humans, plants, and animals have evolved.
• Scientists have breed plants to where they can withstand certain environmental elements.
• They do this by injecting the plants with chemicals and it changes the genetics of the plant.

SOCIETY WITHOUT GENETICS

• The study of genetics have gave society a lot of understanding of how we get our traits.
• Genetics are the most important thing when generating an organism.
• The bad thing about this study is that if the information gets into the wrong hands then it could put a whole lot of people in harm.

BACTERIA AND MICROBES IN AGRICULTURE

BACTERIA IN AGRICULTURE

• Bacteria is used in agriculture to help fight harmful diseases.
• Bacteria can help the soil.
• Bacteria can also be used in pesticides.

MICROORGANISMS

• Microorganisms can live in the soil and they can help the crops.
• Some even develop bio fertilizers and assist the plant.

AGROTERRORISM

ag·ro·ter·ror·ism
ˌaɡrəˈterəˌrizəm/
noun
terrorist acts intended to disrupt or damage a country's agriculture, especially the use of a biological agent against crops or livestock.

Our goal:
Our goal is to Inform people about Agroterrorism and how it is a serious issue through an iBook.
