【PEP】High School Biology Compulsory Volume 2
This course is based on the compulsory textbook 2 for regular high school biology. It systematically explains the basic principles of genetics, the nature and expression of genes, biological variation, and evolutionary theory. Through the history of science, the course guides students to understand Mendel's laws, the chromosome theory, and core concepts of molecular genetics.
Course Overview
Content Summary
This course is based on the required textbook Biology 2 for regular high school, systematically covering the basic laws of genetics, the nature and expression of genes, biological variation, and evolutionary theory. The course guides students through scientific history to understand Mendel's laws, the chromosome theory, and core concepts of molecular genetics.
Explore the mysteries of life, decoding the genetic code from Mendel's laws to molecular evolution.

Learning Objectives
- Describe Mendel's monohybrid cross experiments and the law of segregation.
- Analyze Mendel's dihybrid cross experiments and the law of independent assortment.
- Recognize the role of the "hypothetico-deductive method" in scientific inquiry, and be able to design preliminary genetic experiment plans.
- Elucidate the behavioral changes of chromosomes during meiosis and the significance of fertilization for the genetic stability of organisms.
- Based on Sutton's hypothesis and Morgan's fruit fly experiments, explain the experimental evidence for genes being located on chromosomes and its modern interpretation.
- Using cases such as human red-green color blindness and vitamin D-resistant rickets, analyze and apply the principles of sex-linked inheritance.
- Evaluate the scientific rationale and conclusions of the Streptococcus pneumoniae transformation experiment and the bacteriophage infection experiment, understanding the application of the "addition/subtraction principle" within them.
- Outline the main features of the DNA double helix structure and perform related calculations using the principle of complementary base pairing.
- Explain the process, characteristics, and experimental evidence of DNA semiconservative replication, and interpret its significance for genetic stability.
- Outline the processes, sites, conditions, and products of genetic information transcription and translation.
