How Does Biotechnology Work?

All living organisms have cells, the basic unit of life. Deoxyribonucleic acids or DNA are within those cells, which determine traits the organism has or lacks. Through biotechnology, scientists can improve crops by introducing specific genes into the DNA to achieve target characteristics.
