Modelling inheritance
Using models allows us to simplify a complex process, and makes it easier for students to focus on key aspects of a process. Making real 3D models is also fun to do! Experiments

Horizontal gene transfer
is highly significant to the rate at which bacterial populations acquire resistance to antibiotics. It forces us to rethink models of evolution based on strictly vertical inheritance patterns. Experiments

Genetics
Here are models and analytical techniques to explore how an understanding of the mechanisms of DNA replication and chromosome selection in gamete formation can explain some of the changing features of populations. Experiment collections

Environment
identifying species present and comparing different habitats. The role of microbes in nutrient cycling is introduced here. Models for interactions in ecosystems will complete the picture. Experiment collections
