Question 5 of 5

5. Question
One of the primary drawbacks to biotechnology is that research and
advances require extensive specialized knowledge and a multidisciplinary
approach that includes biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology,
microbiology, and others. This fact, and the high cost of specialized research,
naturally limit progress to some degree
- True
- False
