Students explain how the actions of genes, patterns of inheritance, and the reproduction of cells and organisms account for the continuity of life. They give examples of how inherited characteristics can be observed at molecular and whole-organism levels ¿ in structure, chemistry, or behavior. Full Review »

Students experiment with Drosophila to determine if density of female flies, food sources, temperature and light affect the population dynamics of growth. Students graph their data and compare their results to the number of human offspring-female in a heavily populated city to the number in a lesser populated city. Full Review »
