Biotechnology is a branch of biology which deals with the study of employing biological systems, processes, and organisms in order to manufacture different useful products. Biotechnology overlaps a number of disciplines like genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry. A number of new agricultural, industrial, and therapeutic products are formed as a result of biotechnology. Hence, it is not wrong to say that biotechnology is revolutionizing the world by providing numerous services.
