Correct statements: 1, 3, 4, and 5.
Brief reasons:
- 1: Biotechnology produces disease-resistant organisms (e.g., disease-resistant crops, engineered animals).
- 3: Many medicines (insulin, vaccines, biologics) are developed or produced using biotech.
- 4: Biotechnology improves crops for strength, yield, stress and pest resistance.
- 5: Genetic engineering and related techniques create organisms with desirable traits.
Statement 2 is misleading: while synthetic biology can design novel organisms in some cases, typical biotechnology modifies existing species rather than routinely creating entirely new species.
