CLO 1: List steps of the scientific process and utilize laboratory equipment including microscopy to conduct biological experiments, collect and analyze data, employ scientific reasoning to make informed decisions in the laboratory, and communicate results. CLO 2: Describe the characteristics of life, properties of biomolecules, and basic metabolic pathways including photosynthesis and cellular respiration. CLO 3: Describe the characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and outline cell reproduction, meiosis, and the function of the plasma membrane and organelles. CLO 4: Recall basic chromosome structure, DNA replication, transcription of DNA into RNA, translation of RNA into protein, and biotechnology; match these processes to principles of inheritance; and reproduce simple genetic crosses and pedigree charts. CLO 5: Distinguish the evidence for evolution through natural selection, understand the link between unity and diversity of life and relatedness through common descent, and state the importance of the theory of evolution in unifying biological study. |
