1. In biology you’re learning how traits such as eye colour are inherited. How do you react?

2. You want to find out whether light affects how cress grows. How do you go about it?

3. How do you get on with chemistry?

4. Lectures, lab classes, protocols and research papers will all be in English, and you’ll work in the lab with people from many countries. How does that sound?

5. Your experiment doesn’t give the result you expected. What do you do?

6. You hear on the news about a new gene-editing technique. What do you do?

7. In a lesson, you look at onion skin cells under a microscope. How do you find it?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Biology
Biology is the natural science that involves the study of life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical composition, function, development and evolution. Modern biology is a vast field, composed of many branches. Despite the broad scope and the complexity of the science, there are certain unifying concepts that consolidate it into a single, coherent field. Biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation of new species. Living organisms are open systems that survive by transforming energy and decreasing their local entropy to maintain a stable and vital condition defined as homeostasis. See glossary of biology.
Genetics
Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms. It is generally considered a field of biology, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.
Biology
No biologist today would think of submitting a paper entitled "New evidence for evolution;" it simply has not been an issue for a century.
Douglas J. Futuyma, Evolutionary Biology, 2nd ed., 1986, Sinauer Associates, p. 15
Biology
The ultimate aim of the modern movement in biology is in fact to explain all biology in terms of physics and chemistry.
Francis Crick (1966) Of Molecules and Men. p. 10.

Biology is Engineering.
