Biology

Recently, students have been diving into the world of cell division, exploring both mitosis and meiosis. After a period of focused study, they have successfully wrapped up this unit and gained a deeper understanding of these essential biological processes. As we approach the end of the semester, we will build on this foundation by applying what we’ve learned to a new unit on genetics, where students will further explore how cell division influences heredity and traits.
