"Our fascination with biology has a long history. Even early humans had to study the animals that they hunted and know where to find the plants that they gathered for food. The invention of agriculture was the first great advance of human civilization. Medicine has been important to us from earliest history as well. Biology is the science of life. Biologist study the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution and distribution of living organisms. It encompasses the cellular basis of living things, the energy metabolism that underlies the activities of life, and the genetic basis for inheritance in organisms. Biology also included the study of evolutionary relationships among organisms and the diversity of life on earth.
This second edition is an exploratory and introductory course which leads you to general biology 2 national certificate level 1. this course book will help you understand organismal biology. You will also learn about DNA -- what it is, what it does and other related topics such as genetics, taxonomic concepts, and evolutionary relationships. In this revised course units have been updated and new topics are added to make each subject matter more interesting and easier to understand by the students. It aims to inspire learners in striving harder bu developing a sense of responsibility and commitment as they go along with the course. It covers nine units under four sections."--Back cover.
