Unit 3:Biology - Reproduction (22 hours)
|
This unit examines
societal impacts of reproductive technology, and enables students to
develop an understanding of sexual and asexual reproduction. Knowledge
of Cell Theory and mitosis will be expanded, and proper care of laboratory
equipment will be taught.
