Hi Shruti,
Branches of Biotechnology:
a) Blue Biotechnology:This branch of biotechnology helps to control the marine organisms and water borne organisms. It is a process which has to do with marine or underwater environment. The use of this biotechnology is very rare. Blue biotechnology is used to protect the marine organisms from harmful diseases underwater.
B) Bioinformatics:is the combination of computer and biotechnology. It helps in finding the analysis of datas related to Biotechnology. It is used for various purposes like drugs, for the development of medicines; it is also used to improve the fertility of crops and plants and also for pest, drought and it is resistance to diseases. Bioinformatics is known and referred by the term “computational biology”. It plays an important and a vital role in areas like Functional genomics, structural genomics and proteomics these areas contribute a lot and become a key contributor to Biotechnology and pharma sector.
C) Green Biotechnology:the term used for the agricultural sector. With the help of the process called the Micropropagation (a practice of producing larger number of plants through the existing stock of plants) which helps in selecting the right quality of plants and crops. Also with the help of Transgenic plants (plants whose DNA is modified); this design of transgenic plants helps to grow in a specified environment with the help of certain chemicals.
D) Red Biotechnology:referred to as Medical Biotechnology. It is used for the production of drugs and antibiotic medicines. It also helps to create or design organisms. Through the process of genetic manipulation it helps to cure genetic issues in organisms. It also helps in analysing diseases in organisms. It also helps in developing new ways of diagnosis by performing tests. With the help of stem cell therapy it helps the organs to grow and it also cures the damaged issues in organisms.
E) White Biotechnology:also called and known by the name Industry Biotechnology. This kind of biotechnology is used and applied in industries and its processes. The various uses of this Biotechnology includes; biopolymers (Plastics) Substitutes, new invention of vehicle parts and fuels for the vehicles, invention of fibres for the clothing industry, it is also involved in developing new chemicals and the production process.
Hope this helps.
Wish you luck.
