Solution and Explanation
The molar concentration of human DNA in a human diploid cell is as follows:
⇒\(\text{Total number of chromosomes}\times6.023\times10^{23}\)
⇒\(46\times6.023\times10^{23}\)
⇒\(2.77\times10^{18}\text{ moles}\)
Hence, the molar concentration of DNA in each diploid cell in humans is \(2.77\times10^{23}\text{ moles}\).

Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a vast field of biology that involves the creation, production, and modification of useful products for human welfare using both the technology and the execution of living organisms and their components. An agricultural engineer, Karoly Ereky, coined the word "biotechnology" in 1919, achieving him the title of "Father of Biotechnology."
Principles of Biotechnology:
Among many, the two core techniques that entitled the birth of modern biotechnology are :
- Genetic Engineering is one of the methods of direct modifications of an organism's genome (i.e., DNA and RNA). It requires the introduction of new genes into host species to escalate function or trait, hence altering the host organism's phenotype.
- Bioprocess Engineering is one of the methods of maintaining sterile conditions to facilitate the growth of large quantities of desired microbes and other eukaryotic cells for the development of new or modified biotechnological products such as enzymes, vaccines, antibiotics, and other biotechnological products.
