In this module, you will be introduced to Mendel's Laws of Inheritance and consider how these laws affect the behaviour of chromosomes during meiosis. The concepts of genetic recombination, linkage and the properties of bacteria and viruses will also be examined.

In this module, you will study more intently about cell cycles and development. You will also come to understand the importance of mitosis and the significance of meiosis for reproduction. The principles and applications of plants and animal cloning will also be explained.
