Explain the concept of biotechnology as it relates to veterinary science.

Explanation should include

• definition of biotechnology
• biotechnology techniques used (e.g., embryo transfer, stem cell therapy, recombinant vaccines)
• genomics
• how advances in biotechnology have impacted animal health (e.g., identification of disease-causing genes, tests to determine whether an animal is genetically predisposed to a disease). 

Process/Skill Questions:

• Who is working on the Dog Genome Project?
• What breeds and traits have been studied in the Dog Genome Project?
• Why do the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club want breeders to use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing?
