Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.

Let me give you an example: Passage: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides that changes the reading frame of the base sequence. Deletions remove nucleotides, and insertions add nucleotides. Consider the following sequence of bases in RNA:. Answer: nucleotides.
The answer to this example can be: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Here is why: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

OK. solve this:
Passage: Biotechnology is the use of biological agents for technological advancement. Biotechnology was used for breeding livestock and crops long before the scientific basis of these techniques was understood. Since the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953, the field of biotechnology has grown rapidly through both academic research and private companies. The primary applications of this technology are in medicine (production of vaccines and antibiotics) and agriculture (genetic modification of crops, such as to increase yields). Biotechnology also has many industrial applications, such as fermentation, the treatment of oil spills, and the production of biofuels (Figure 17.2). Answer: medicine and agriculture
Answer:
Biotechnology is the use of biological agents for technological advancement. what two areas are the primary applications of this technology used?
