Biology

Course summary

Biology is all around us. Every day there are newspaper articles or television programmes about advances in stem cell research, conservation, wildlife, importance of lifestyle choices in prolonging life, as well as the latest CRISPR gene editing technique. The structure of DNA was discovered in the 1950s. Now scientists have completed the 100,000 Genomes Project. This has led to ethical issues as to who has the right to this information. If you find these topics interesting and you want to know more, then studying Biology at A-Level may suit you.
