1.	What are the two phases of the development of biotechnology in terms of its growth?
Answer» Two phases of the development of biotechnology in terms of its growth are as follows: Traditional biotechnology (old biotechnology) : It is based on fermentation technology that uses microorganisms in the preparation of curd, ghee, soma, vinegar, yogurt, cheese making, wine making, etc. Modern biotechnology (new biotechnology) : 1. During 1970 ‘recombinant DNA technology was developed and then established by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer in 1973. 2. This technique alters or modifies genetic material to develop of new products. 3. The combination of biology and production technology based on genetic engineering evolved into modern biotechnology. 4. Modern biotechnology is based on two core techniques-genetic engineering and chemical engineering.
