Recombinant DNA and Biotechnology A Guide for Students

Written in clear, easy-to-understand language, this best-selling reference text and activities manual offers easy-to-implement lessons and classroom activities.Part I covers basic molecular biology, and Part II offers imaginative dry labs and wet labs that can be done by both college and precollege students. Part III is an innovative section addressing the social issues and public concerns of biotechnology. Extensive appendixes provide important background information on basic laboratory techniques and teaching resources, including overhead masters and templates.Adopted by numerous school systems, this unique book is an outgrowth of molecular biology and biotechnology teaching workshops. All of the exercises and lab activities have been extensively tested in the classroom by hundreds of high school teachers. Recombinant DNA and Biotechnology is designed to interest an international teaching audience and will enable all instructors to teach a reasonable amount of molecular biology and genetic engineering to students. No other book makes it so easy or compelling for teachers to incorporate the "new biology" into their biology, biological sciences, or general science curriculum. In addition to the complete text of the student edition, A Guide for Teachers also contains the answers to all discussion questions and extra background informarion and material on the scientific principles involved.Kreuzer, Helen is the author of 'Recombinant DNA and Biotechnology A Guide for Students' with ISBN 9781555811761 and ISBN 1555811760.
