Unit 3: Signatures of Life
This unit looks at the molecules and biochemical
processes that are indicators of life. It investigates
the biomolecules and biochemical processes that
are essential for life. It examines how cells
communicate with each other and how our
immune system protects us from pathogens.
Unit 4: Continuity & Change
This unit focuses on genetics and its role in
establishing biodiversity and the process of
evolution. It examines how genes are passed from
one generation to the next and how changes in
genes account for speciation and extinction.
Entry
There are no prerequisites for entry to Unit 1,2 and
3. However, students who enter the study at Unit 3
