Biology 12 - Part 1 (BIOL 0983)
This course introduces the student to the study of the cell. Students examine cell structure, metabolism and genetics. The course explores diets and family hereditary patterns, linking both to the blueprint of life itself, DNA. Topics addressed include basic chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, immunology, cancer, the human genome, genetic engineering, and metabolic pathways.
Both Biology 0983 and Biology 0993 are required for completion of ABE Provincial Level Biology (Anatomy & Physiology 12).
Biology 0983 and Biology 0993 can be taken at the same time or in any order.
