Analyze a biotechnological innovation.
Analysis should include the effects of biotechnological innovations on the AFNR industries and could include
- alternative fuel sources
- new tools and drugs for managing animal and/or plant health
- transgenic organisms in biomanufacturing.
Analysis should also include biotechnical innovations that result in
- increased crop yields through plant modifications that help reduce pesticide and water use and/or improve tolerance to climatic factors
- improved food nutrient content and preservation techniques
- improved detection and management of pollution.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How has plant biotechnology affected the agriculture industry?
- How have plant biotechnology products been used in the AFNR industry, in environmental applications, and in the medical field?
- How have animal biotechnology products been used in AFNR, in the technology industry, in environmental applications, and in the medical field?
