Understanding Biology: Through Problem Solving

Understanding Biology: Through Problem Solving

by T.H.Hoey (Author)

Synopsis

This text is about problem solving questions (without answers) with chapters on ecosystems, the world of plants, animal survival, investigating cells, the body in motion, inheritance and biotechnology. The questions are graded at two levels - general and credit levels of standard grade. One of the important features of this book is that many of the questions asked draw on novel or original data. There are tests of fly killers from the Which magazine, an article on the distemper virus which is killing seals in the North Sea, information on crop yields in Third World countries, DNA finger prints made from blood samples from the scene of a crime, data on the effect of CFCs on the ozone layer, data on the effect of acid rain on trees and air pollution measurements using lichens.
