Genetics
For thousands of years people have selectively bred organisms for traits that they find desirable. However, in the mid-nineteenth century, scientists started to understand how traits pass from parent to offspring. Genetic modification has emerged from this understanding of genetics. In this unit students will study genes, patterns of inheritance and procedures to genetically modify organisms.
