Biotechnology Need To Know List
This is for both chapters 13 & 14, so you better get started. You are to use the textbook, class
activities and notes to know as much as possible about these concepts. Be as specific and
complete as you can! Not everything here will be covered in class, nor is everything in the
textbook. You must READ, PARTICIPATE, TAKE NOTES and STUDY!!
All vocabulary from chapters 13 & 14 plus introduced in class! (A big part of the test!)
