"Biology literally means "the study of life". Biology is such a broad field, covering the minute workings of chemical machines inside our cells, to broad scale concepts of ecosystems and global climate change. Biologists study intimate details of the human brain, the composition of our genes, and even the functioning of our reproductive system. Biologists recently all but completed the deciphering of the human genome, the sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases that may determine much of our innate capabilities and predispositions to certain forms of behavior and illnesses." M.J. Farabee 2001

As you work through the A+ lessons you will have an opportunity to compare some of the extremes associated with the science of biology. As you do so, record the completion date of each lesson and the score earned on the mastery test. When done with all the lessons turn in the page to your instructor for a grade.
