Points to Remember

Following are some of the important points to remember for NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 12:

  • Biotechnology has developed many useful products using microbes, plants, animals, and their metabolic systems.

  • Genetically Modified (GM) crops and animals are of immense value. They have been developed by using special methods to transfer one or more genes from one organism to another. It needed the use of rDNA technology.

  • Transgenic plants developed also show herbicide resistance and long shelf life.

  • Transgenic animals are also utilized in the safety or toxicity testing of vaccines.

  • Bioware is the use of biological weapons against humans, their crops, and animals.
