Explanation

Biotechnology is a science that covers different areas such as chemistry, biology, and technology, to improve or facilitate procedures related to living organisms by manipulating living or parts of these in areas such as agriculture, medicine, and pharmacy. In the area of medicine, biotechnology is in charge of working with DNA to improve people's health. Also, it is in charge of investigating the cells to know in depth the problems that trigger diseases or genetic problems. Another use of biotechnology in medicine is through the use of stem cells in treatments for self-renewal or regeneration of damaged tissues. So, the correct answers are 1. Using stem cells to treat disease, and 3. Diagnosing genetic diseases.
