Sommario/riassunto

"Biology and Biotechnology: Science, Applications, and Issues offers an inviting exploration of biotechnology, carefully blending science, consumer applications, regulatory information, and social issues. Providing a strong basis in the fundamentals of biological science, the book focuses on the material that is needed to understand and evaluate technologies that are available to consumers. Biology and Biotechnology is largely intended for undergraduate nonmajor science courses; however, biology majors will benefit from the unique perspective.
