Unit 3
Unit 3 - General Biology
Essential Question - What is the result of errors that take place during cell division ?
This unit of study will continue the concepts of cells into reproduction and development. Students will be able to differentiate between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS and explain how this applies to cell reproduction. Students will also be able to describe the differences between ASEXUAL and SEXUAL reproduction in both plants and animals. Please use the following course sequence as we progress through this unit. Each Unit is broken down into modules. Each module contains either a link or an attachment that can provide you with all of the materials that are presented in the classroom
