Description

This topic focuses on how characteristics are passed from one generation to the next and why organisms show similarities and differences. Students will explore cell division, genes, chromosomes, and patterns of inheritance, as well as the causes of variation among individuals. The topic also examines natural selection, adaptation, and the role of genetics in evolution, along with modern applications such as genetic engineering. Through this topic, students learn to predict inheritance patterns, analyse variation, and evaluate how genetic processes influence survival, diversity, and development over time.
