To genetically manipulate organisms.

Explanation:

Biotechnology can be defined as a scientific and technological process of modifying or manipulating the genetics of microorganisms in order to manufacture products such as foods and drugs for better and quality living.

Application of Biotechnology includes:

a. Production of wine using yeast.

b. Growing and production of genetically modified crops which contain more nutrients that are essential to the body.

c. Production of drugs required to cure diseases

advantage of using stem cells in medical research:

1.       it provides medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.

2. it provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a variety of diseases including parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease and many more.

3. limbs and organ could be grown in lab from stem cells and then used in transplant or treat illness.
