Biotechnology harnesses biological systems, organisms, or derivatives to create products or applications that improve and enhance various aspects of human life, agriculture, medicine, and industry. It encompasses a wide range of techniques and methodologies, including genetic engineering, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and cell culture. Key Areas of Biotechnology: Medical Biotechnology: Pharmaceuticals: Development of drugs and vaccines using biological systems. Gene Therapy: Intro...

Biotechnology involves the use of biological systems, organisms, or derivatives to develop products and applications that benefit society. Historical Roots: The use of biotechnology dates back thousands of years, with practices such as fermentation and selective breeding. Recombinant DNA Technology: Recombinant DNA technology, developed in the 1970s, allowed scientists to manipulate and combine DNA from different sources, forming the basis for genetic engineering. Genetic Engineering: ...

This document compiles an entire unit of biology notes, consisting of three chapters. These notes cover various topics regarding evolution, evolutionary changes, evidence of evolution, speciation, and extinction. Additionally, these notes include an abundance of images, equations, charts, and diagrams to assist you in your study of biology.

As indicated by the title of this document, these notes cover the forces and processes of evolution and evolutionary changes. These notes begin with an explanation of evolution and what it is, as well as various experiments that have been conducted. This chapter discusses various topics such as allele frequency and descent with modification. These notes provide the equations needed to solve problems that use those terms, as well as an abundance of diagrams, examples, and charts! Some of the topi...
