Biology · Principles and Processes in Biotechnology

Bioprocess engineering differs from genetic engineering primarily in its focus and methodology. Which of the following best describes the key objective of bioprocess engineering?

1. Altering the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA) to change the phenotype of host organisms.
2. Maintenance of sterile conditions to grow desired microbes/eukaryotic cells in large quantities for commercial products.
3. Isolating and cutting specific DNA sequences using restriction endonucleases.
4. Linking an alien piece of DNA to host chromosomal DNA to initiate replication.
