Description
Biology for Engineers is designed for the first-year undergraduate engineering students. The book aims to introduce the fundamentals of biology in an engineering context. The book is organized into 11 chapters, beginning with the significance of biology in engineering and the basics of the origin of life, followed by evolution. Cell biology is covered in detail over four chapters, followed by DNA, cell replication, and quantification. The final chapters cover proteins, Mendelian genetics, cellular organelles, and human physiology.
