This module is a core discipline module for all SAS students. It aims to help students develop an appreciation and understanding of life and life processes at the molecular and cellular level. Students explore the structure and function of the DNA molecule, and of cellular structures and processes. Critical foundations for biological subjects such as an understanding of the genetic code and the central dogma are also covered. Students should be able to communicate their understanding via presentations of their solutions for given problems, as well as through quizzes and tests. Students are expected to show how they have reasoned out their solutions, rather than simply reiterating content knowledge.
