Biotechnology Explorations Applying the Fundamentals

This volume offers a broad collection of college-level experiments that provides students with a hands-on understanding of biotechnology and molecular biology, including applications and practical uses.

The inquiry-based activities, chosen for their safety, reliability, and flexibility, are designed to pique the students' interest and provide them with opportunities for independent study. The clear, readable text makes concepts readily understandable and the user-friendly format allows students to easily follow protocols.

Each investigation includes suggested reading, laboratory language, and analysis questions that help direct student thinking. Side bar comments offer special hints and detailed information to ensure success, but keep the protocols themselves easy to follow. Comprehensive laboratory safety guidelines are also included.
