  Written to stimulate interest and discussion about biology while providing coverage of the A-level and SCE Higher Biology courses core topics, this book should also be useful for courses of a more vocational nature with a biology component. The questions test knowledge and understanding, and develop skills of analysis and comprehension. All the questions are context-based, and include a range of stimulus items from magazine advertisements to instructions for a home cholesterol kit. The book is divided into four sections: biochemistry and molecular biology; physiology and behaviour; genetics and evolution; and ecology and conservation. Within these sections, the topics covered include - lead levels and IQ, salt-free salt, the female condom, F1 hybrid vegetables, eco-terrorism, golden-tanning tablets and more. The answers section includes hints to help with discussion questions.
