That is partly true, however the techniques are not an end in themselves. The study of genes is just chemistry. Genetics is about the interaction between genes and their environment. Geneticists use the chemistry to identify the genes, but as biologists are more interested in what the gene products do within the organism. Learn how genetics interacts with other areas of biology.
Many academic biologists use genetics in developing models and applications within their discipline.
Agriculture, medicine, and forensics are applied areas in which genetic technology has become important. We will accomplish these objectives through several activities. Attend lecture and take good notes. The lectures will focus on points of particular importance or difficulty but will definitely not cover all the material. Reading and study of the texts.
