Mātai iranga | Genetics

This term we will begin by using the cell biology concepts that we covered in Term 2 to explore how animals and plants have developed adaptions that allow them to carry out key life processes. This will work towards our final internal AS91155 which is worth 3 credits. 

We will then begin our final topic for the year which looks at Genetic Variation. The key concepts that we will look at are: 

• Mutations
• Alleles
• Meiosis
• Inheritance
• Natural Selection
• Genetic Drift
• Migration

This works towards the external AS91157 which is worth 4 credits.
