Options
- Aonly 2 is correct
- Bonly 3 and 4 are incorrect
- Conly 1 is incorrect
- DAll are correct
Correct answer
D. All are correct
Step-by-step solution
The applications of biotechnology include therapeutics, diagnostics, genetically modified crops for agriculture, processed food, bioremediation, waste treatment, and energy production. Three critical research areas of biotechnology are: (i) Providing the best catalyst in the form of improved organism usually a microbe or pure enzyme. (ii) Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act, and (iii) Downstream processing technologies to purify the protein/organic compound.
