New crops have been developed by transferring the genes of one crop into another. This produces proteins usually only found in the donor.

How can other new technology, specifically biotechnology, help preserve biodiversity of plants and animals?

Hmm..I wouldn't think that is conserves biodiversity if genes are beign transfered and moved around. Genes will mixed or expresses more/less..you get a different phenotype. So, in a way the gene you put into another animal will linger around and I would say you create more diversity...instead of just preserving it. We are creating new phenotypes of things that already exisist.
