Biotechnology Class XI has been
designed to help students appreciate
the dynamic changes happening in
the field. Genetic engineering and
hybridoma technology have become
an integral part of the
Biotechnology-academic-curriculum
and are no longer considered
frontier areas. The role of a modern
biotechnologist is one in which he or

integrated harmonious functioning of
the cell as a part of a system. It is
also important to equip the learner
on the impact of introducing or

to the cell or organism, but also to
the environment. The book has been
designed to provide a holistic and
historical perspective on
Biotechnology.

an active interest in the young
minds towards understanding of
various topics

pattern through history of
technological developments
• Distinguishes between
Bioscience and Biotechnology
