Title: Give examples of biotechnology milestones.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Technology Education (21999) > Section: Exploring Foundations in Biotechnology

Giving examples should include classical (e.g., China, Greece, Egypt) and modern (e.g., Watson and Crick) milestones. Examples should include those from various categories, such as inventions, discoveries, artifacts, and processes and illustrate the process and effects of the social transition from an agrarian society to a technology state.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How have historical events influenced and been influenced by biotechnology?
- What discoveries have contributed to recent breakthroughs in biotechnology?
