BIOTECHNOLOGYIt’s the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products

IMPORTANT FACTS...● Important researches about DNA structure, virus, coal and graphite
○ She take the “Picture 51”■ Which helped to know everything we
know about DNA nowadays
● However, the merits were attributed to James Watson and Francis Crick
