The lessons... |
Some of the main areas of research in biology today and genes, ageing, and regenerative medicine. You learnt about how the genetic code governs the making of proteins in your cells, and why proteins are important. Enzymes are proteins, as is haemoglobin. You looked at why we need energy and how your cells respire to release energy from the food you eat. Your blood brings the glucose and oxygen for respiration to your cells.
You also learnt about selective breeding, genetic engineering, gene therapy and for some inherited diseases, cloning and about genetically modified crop plants. |
