Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 31 Fungi Though fungal divisions have traditionally been based on modes of sexual reproduction‚ molecular considerations are becoming more important. Consequently‚ no emphasis has been placed on the vagaries of sexual and asexual reproduction among various fungi in this Test Bank. Instead‚ new questions assess students’ abilities to think logically about fungal morphology‚ genetics‚ and ecology. Two new sets of scenario questions deal with the biology

2 Production of Protein from Cloned Genes Now that we have covered the basic techniques involved in gene cloning and DNA analysis and examined how these techniques are used in research‚ we can move on to consider how recombinant DNA technology is being applied in biotechnology. This is not a new subject‚ although biotechnology has received far more attention during recent years than it ever has in the past. Biotechnology can be defined as the use of biological processes in industry and technology
