1. Over 400 years ago, the bark of the cinchona tree was discovered to contain a
chemical compound called quinine. Quinine was, and still is, used to cure and prevent
malaria. This is an early example of
a biotechnology
b. scientific modeling
c. genetic engineering
d. genomics

Modeling usually involves a simulation to make some kind of prediction or comparison. Genetic engineering involves changing the genetic makeup of an organism. Genomics is a new field dealing with gene mapping. The use of quinine for medicinal purposes is an early form of biotechnology. Four hundred years ago they were not mapping the genes of the cinchona tree.
