BIO107: Introduction to Biotechnology

Vocabulary
I have listed here some important terms from the lectures. This list is an optional study aid. You should NOT assume that these are the only terms you should know to do well on the corresponding examination. On the other hand, if you you are unfamiliar with many of these terms, you will likely struggle with the examination.

These terms are listed in alphabetical order. Randomizing the list will optimize your studying.
