Biology

Course summary

There’s been a murder. Enter a crime scene that requires you to amplify small fragments of DNA from the victim and assorted suspects. Separate the fragments using gel electrophoresis and then stain the gels to reveal the genetic fingerprint of the murderer. Conduct a live breeding cross between white-eyed mutant male Drosophila and vestigial-winged females, to investigate dominant and recessive alleles. Sign up for the Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia expedition to experience, first hand, the amazing flora and fauna of the African bush. These are but a few of the amazing experiences pupils can enjoy when studying Biology at A Level. The study of life itself, opens doors to a plethora of different career paths from Medicine to Marine Biology and Genomics to Biotechnology
