Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Agricultural and Environmental Science (18308-II) > Section: Applying Biotechnology to Agricultural Species

Summary should be made by examining an example of the

- production and use of biodegradable pesticides, herbicide-resistant crops, and fertilizers
- DNA marker technology for plant and animal breeding
- development of pathogen-resistant and insect-resistant plants
- development of plant and animal byproducts.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are examples of genetically modified organisms that are used to support crop production?
- What innovations are the result of plant modification?
- What are current uses and applications of genetically modified plants and animals?
