Biotechnology and Its Applications
Cotton that kills its own caterpillars, insulin made by bacteria, a girl whose immune system was repaired, a cow that gave human milk protein. These are not stories of the future. In this chapter you see how the tools of recombinant DNA are used on farms and in medicine, how a plant can switch off the genes of a worm, and why a patent on rice or turmeric can anger a whole country. Python counts survivors, chains and doses of a model, and checks base pairs.

Genetically Modified Crops and Pest Resistance
Why farmers and scientists turn to genetically modified crops, and what they have gained. How the toxin of a soil bacterium protects cotton from its bollworms, and how a plant can silence the genes of a root worm with RNA interference. It covers the unit of the Indian syllabus (NCERT, NEET) and the matching topic of A-Level, IB and AP.
Recombinant Medicines, Gene Therapy and Transgenic Animals
How bacteria were taught to make human insulin, how a faulty gene can be repaired in a patient, and how a tiny amount of a germ can be found early. Then the animals that carry a foreign gene, and what they are used for. It covers the unit of the Indian syllabus (NCERT, NEET) and the matching topic of A-Level, IB and AP.
