o The creation of transgenic plants, by combining desired traits from a variety of plants into one organism, creating an optimal growing environment for the plant as the plasmid genes protect it from harmful bacteria
o Biotechnology has allowed for the modification of seeds in order to produce crops that are bigger, stronger, more uniform, resistant to viruses and infections, and are even better tasting

o Biotechnology has allowed for DNA screening of parents before conception and fetuses before birth, allowing practitioners to determine the likelihood of having a child with a genetic disorder.
o Genetic screening is used to determine if they have a given disorder, whether it is genetic or contracted, such as a sexually transmitted infection.
o Gene therapy, a new technology, may one day be the leading treatment for those with genetic disorders, as it involves transferring a vector containing a remedied copy of the disordered gene sequence with the hopes of expressing the plasmid protein naturally
