Question

which of the following are results of biotechnology? select the three that apply.
a the natural selection of a species by natural changes in the environment
b the cloning of an identical species by the isolation of a cells genes
c changing an organisms coloration to adapt to the environment
d the creation and improvement of vaccines
e development of new plant species
think about the advantages/advancements by biotechnology
biotechnology is the process of using technology to make biological advancements to species and or medicine through experiments.
which three choices align with the information above?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Option A

Natural selection occurs naturally in nature, not a result of biotechnology. So A is wrong.

Step2: Analyze Option B

Cloning (like isolating genes to clone a species) is a biotechnology technique. So B is correct.

Step3: Analyze Option C

Organisms changing coloration to adapt to the environment is a natural adaptation (like camouflage), not biotechnology. So C is wrong.

Step4: Analyze Option D

Creation and improvement of vaccines (using biotechnology to identify antigens, etc.) is a biotechnology application. So D is correct.

Step5: Analyze Option E

Development of new plant species (like using genetic engineering in plants) is a biotechnology use. So E is correct.

Answer:

B. the cloning of an identical species by the isolation of a cell's genes, D. the creation and improvement of vaccines, E. development of new plant species
