Molecular Biology by Dr. P.S. Verma, Dr. V.K. Agarwal
Book Summary:
This textbook of Molecular Biology contains 16 chapters and about 392 pages. It is hoped that this book will open new vistas for the readers and it will serve them immensely. With the help of simple text, numerous figures, many tables, boxes, and colored photographs, authors have tried to craft a balanced account of Molecular Biology. Problems at the end of some chapters have tried to show our readers the way of solving the Molecular Biological Problems. Answers to selected problems and Multiple Choice Questions may help our readers.
Audience of the Book :
This book is Useful for B.Sc students.
