Year 13 Biology (Level 3)

Biology at this level introduces students to the new world that is opening up in this subject. It explores DNA and how it works, the new techniques associated with DNA editing and genetically modified organisms. Other areas studied include plant and animal behaviour, homeostasis and human evolution.  

Students taking Level 3 Biology and intending to follow a science career should also take another science. Many biological courses at tertiary level require knowledge of Level 2 Chemistry and above and so students are advised to continue on to Level 3 Chemistry or study Level 2 Chemistry if they have not already done so.
