Answer:

1) HB4 transgenic wheat is drought tolerant and resistant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium.

Benefits: drought continues to be the great threat to agricultural productivity. Climate change is continually threatening to lengthen droughts and increase their effects. Among the aids, in this sense, of the professionals of agriculture, is biotechnology.

2)Alcoholic fermentation: It is a process of great industrial importance,

which, depending on the type of yeast used, gives rise to a variety of alcoholic beverages: beer, wine, cider etc.

Biotechnology has allowed the production of alcoholic beverages on a large scale, as an industrialized process and not an isolated experiment in the laboratory.
