The second edition of Objective Genetics, Biochemistry and Forestry is an up-to-date version in which many new questions have been added along with those on related topics, such as Natural Selection, Genetics and Evolution, General Genetics, Plant Breeding, Microscopy, Cell Division, Mendelism, DNA Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Forestry, and Tissue Culture, etc.
This book has been designed to assess the candidate's understanding of the subject. It is perhaps for the first time where questions have four to six choice statements, which are to be understood to find the right answer. One has to think and remember what he has learnt to be able to answer the questions.
In most of the competitive examinations such as Agriculture Research Services of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, NET, State Eligibility Test and Civil Services Examination, etc. Objective type questions are asked. Also, the entrance test for admission to many universities are totally objective.

The present book has been designed to serve the students of plant breeding genetics biotechnology biochemistry and forestry. In most of the books the objective type question judge the students on the basis of their ability to memorize because of the way they are formulated. It is important to be able to remember the year of historical events the scientists involved and who named what to make one remember the landmark contributions of the people on a particular subject. Along with these kinds of questions majority of the questions in this book have been designed to assess the candidate's understanding of the subject. It is perhaps for the first time where questions have four to six choice statements which are to be understood to find the right answer. One has to think and remember what he has learnt to be able to answer these questions. There are some books on objective type questions on the subject of plant breeding and a very few on genetics but there is hardly any book which deals with tissue culture biotechnology biochemistry or forestry. All these subjects are related as many postgraduate students of genetics and plant breeding take biotechnology as a minor subject whereas those of biotechnology take biochemistry or genetics and plant breeding as a minor subject. Also undergraduates in agricultural universities study courses on all these subjects including forestry. 474 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 71065
