Scope Note: The definition of biotechnology varies, but a simple definition
is the use of living organisms by humans. One example of biotechnology is cloning.
We have been cloning plants for centuries. Each time a leaf is excised from a violet
plant and placed in soil to grow a new plant, cloning has occurred. Today, we are
not only doing the physical manipulation at the visual level but also on the molecular
level. In modern or molecular biotechnology, we physically select the desired characteristic
at the molecular level and add it to the organism's genetic makeup.
