Description
The "Focus on Biology" series covers the major optional topics in A level Biology and is also appropriate for Scottish Higher and SYS pupils. The books give balanced accounts of the required material and are designed to reinforce and build upon students' understanding of the core syllabus. This book is also suitable for BTEC students following courses in Agriculture and Applied Biology. It includes sections about human relationships with animals, herd management and reproduction, milk productivity in dairy cattle, beef productivity, meat quality, egg production, fish farming, and importance of invertebrates to humans. It also covers selective breeding, heritability and genetic manipulation - aspects of applied genetics in animals. When this book is used together with "Plant Science in Action", the two cover those topics in A level options for applied genetics that are not covered in core text books.
