Any science requires math and biology is no exception. It will probably require less math than chemistry and biology but math will still be required-statistics in particular.

Remember that one of the key parts of the human genome was figuring out how to divide the human DNA up into parts for parallel analysis, then put the results back together afterwards. There was a team of mathematicians that did excellent work on how to do that.
So there are some areas of biotechnology that use a lot of math. Some don't.

I'm a biomedical engineering major and this field basically designs medical products. Yes you will need a hell of a lot of math and physics if you want to go into this field. 2 full years of physics, math and chemistry to be exact. so if you're prepared to go into biotech, be good at math...

Yes, maths is needed for many design aspects of biology and the technological applications of it. So, take the needed bridge courses.

Not in any reasonable job. You need math to do any basic science job whether at the basic production technician level or R@D scientist.

most certainly yes.
in the lab you will need to be able to calculate dilutions, dosages, data analysis...i'm surprised you've gone through bio classes without calc. that's um, like, fundamental, or something.
