Description
Organised into eleven chapters, the book begins with a chapter that discusses the significance of biology in the engineering context and moves onto the basics of origin of life followed by a brief chapter on evolution. Concepts of cell biology is discussed in very details spread over four exclusive chapters. This is followed by chapters on DNA and cell replication and quantification. The last few chapters discusses chapters on proteins, mendelian genetics, cellular organelles before concluding with the chapter on human physiology.
