Applied Genetics and Molecular Biotechnology

Applied genetics attempts to change organisms' genomes in order to improve their utility to humans. Cytogenetics, molecular biology, and Mendelian and quantitative genetics are all used. Applied geneticists typically have knowledge of biochemistry, agronomy, botany, entomology, food processing, forestry, pathology, microbiology, physiology, and statistics, among other fields. Applied genetics aims to improve the quality of food and fibre products, increase the economic efficiency of any given product, and reduce the detrimental effects on the environment of food and fibre production.

The study of the molecular basis of biological activity in and between cells, including molecular production, modification, processes, and interactions, is known as molecular biology. Molecular biology is the study of the chemical and physical structure of biological macromolecules. Molecular biology was first defined as a method for discovering the underpinnings of biological events, such as the structures of biological molecules and their interactions, as well as how these interactions explain classical biology findings. Biotechnology, on the other hand, wants to change man himself in order to better adapt him to the world. While technology normally aims to produce tools to empower man, biotechnology aims to change man himself in order to better fit him to the world. Biotechnology is the application of biological scientific discoveries, particularly in the field of genetics and its applications.
