| Abstract
|
:
|
Investigations in General Biology presents an overview of studies in general biology, including behavior, biological models, cell activities, organization of plants and animals, population genetics, and evolution. The opening chapters deal with the significance of accurate observations of systematic ordering of biological events in plants and animals. The use of laboratory tools for biological analysis and the application of such tools in biological diffusion process are also considered. This book describes the use of model to investigate cellular phenomenon and an application of a valid.
