    Solution :

                     Biotechnology is the use of biological processes,   organisms,   or   systems   to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life. The science of biotechnology can be broken down into subdisciplines called red, white, green and blue. Red biotechnology involves medical processes such as getting organisms to produce new drugs or using stem cells to regenerate damaged human tissues and perhaps? re-grow entire organs. White (also called grey) biotechnology involves industrial processes such as the production of new chemical or the development of new fuels for vehicles. Green biotechnology applies to agriculture and   involves   such   processes   as   the development of pest-resistant grains or the accelerated evolution of disease resistant animals. Blue biotechnology, rarely mentioned, encompasses processes in marine and aquatic environments, such as controlling the proliferation   of   noxious   water-bome organisms.
