Students investigate variation in inherited characteristics and evidence supporting the theory of evolution. Assessment includes experiment reports, media analysis, projects, topic tests, and a final exam. The course is recommended for students interested in further biology study or learning more about inheritance and family trees.
2. Students study patterns of heredity, genes, chromosomes and the processes of mitosis and meiosis They study inherited diseases They investigate the ethics and applications of genetic engineering. Vegetable people C an activity which investigates the variation of inherited characteristics.
