It discusses the use of <strong>genetically modified organisms (GMOs)<\/strong> in agriculture to produce crops with better yield, resistance to pests, and improved nutritional value. The chapter also highlights important applications of biotechnology in <strong>medicine<\/strong>, such as the production of insulin, vaccines, and gene therapy for treating genetic disorders. Additionally, it explains the role of biotechnology in environmental protection through techniques like <strong>bioremediation<\/strong>, which helps in cleaning polluted environments. Overall, the chapter shows how modern biotechnology contributes to agriculture, healthcare, and sustainable development.  These concepts are important for both Class 12 board exams and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaashivinfotech.com\/blog\/which-online-platforms-provide-live-neet-coaching-classes-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\"
