Biotechnology is
The correct option is (C) Application of organisms to produce products useful to mankind.
The field of biology that involves the processes and patterns of evolution using biological organisms is called evolutionary biology. Evolutionary biology is concerned with the patterns and processes of biological evolution, particularly with regard to the variety of species and how they evolve through time.
Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of microorganisms, their growth in the culture medium and various other processes. The analysis of all living things that are too tiny to see with the naked eye is known as microbiology. This refers to the diverse group of organisms known as "microbes", which includes bacteria, viruses, fungus, algae, etc. These microorganisms are essential for biotechnology, food spoilage, biodegradation, climate change, disease causation and management, and nutrient cycling. Microbes are useful in various processes, including the production of biofuels, life-saving medications, the removal of pollutants, and the production/processing of food and beverages.
Biotechnology is the technique that uses living organisms, such as microorganisms or the enzymes derived from them, to produce products that can be useful for the living organism. Examples include making curd using Lactobacillus and use of yeast to make bread.
The introduction of genetic engineering in the 1970s has contributed immensely to the expansion of this field. Research in other fields, such as regenerative medicine and nanotechnology, are advancements in biotechnology, which combine biological knowledge with computer technology. There are many biotechnological companies that produce genetically modified products commercially for various purposes, such as ecological, agricultural, and medical applications.
