Basic Biology Genetic diversity describes the genetic differences seen among members of a population. What this means that that every individual on the planet is different from one another in some way. This is because we have either high genetic diversity‚ or a low genetic diversity‚ which is seen through the size of the gene pool from which we came. If we happen to live in a gene pool that has a high concentration of genetic diversity‚ then we are more like to have many different genetic combinations

I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school‚ I became fascinated by animal behaviour‚ ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this‚ my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals‚ working in a group‚ and working as an individual‚ having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific

I am very good at Biology as it is the main subject required for this course and have a good understanding on a cellular level of organisms (plants and animals). I am a negotiator and prefer to work in teams‚ paying close attention to everyone’s opinion and making decisions accordingly. I have studied all three sciences at school level and because Biology was the subject I was very much interested in is what has compelled me to pursue a career in a Biology related field. At level 3 I am

Premium Scientific method Biology Organism
A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive
