Ecosystems: biodiversity and sustainability
Population size, density,
distribution and growth are
affected by the features of
the ecosystem. Human
activities impact population
dynamics and viability
Population dynamics
 relationships between
organisms in communities
and their impact on
population size and
distribution e.g.
competition, predator/prey,
mutualism, collaboration,
parasitism and
commensalism and
disease
 causes of population
change including density
dependent and density
independent factors e.g.
natural disasters, disease,
availability of resources,
predator control, pest
species, human activities
 carrying capacity of an
ecosystem
 impact of population
growth on ecosystems
 the influence of population
dynamics including birth,
death and migration rates
on
o population size
o density
o composition
o distribution
 population calculations
using birth, death and
migration rates.
Reproductive processes
influence the success of
populations in providing
genetically diverse
individuals to survive in
various environmental
conditions.
Continuity of species
Cell division—mitosis
 the cell cycle
 mitosis
 mitosis in growth, repair
and asexual reproduction.

Cell division—meiosis
 processes of meiosis for
gamete production (names
of stages not required)
 roles of meiosis and
fertilisation in the change
of chromosome number in
a life cycle.
351–353
Principles of genetics
 structure and function of
o DNA
o genes and
o chromosomes
 prediction of the
frequencies of genotypes
and phenotypes of
offspring from monohybrid
crosses for
o autosomal
o sex-linked conditions
o co-dominance
o incomplete dominance
 interpretation of pedigree
charts for
o patterns of inheritance
o probabilities.

Influence of the
environment
 environmental interactions
with genotypes e.g. flower
colour and soil pH
 determination of sex by
chromosomes or the
environment e.g.
temperature.
511–512
3.6: Growing up in the hills
319–321
Planning and conducting
biological research
 identification and
reformulation of a
problem as a testable
hypothesis
 plan and carry out an
investigation involving a
number of controlled
variables
 study of ecosystems by
field sampling methods
e.g. quadrats, transects,
capture-recapture, pit
trapping, net-trawling,
radio-tracking
 use of biological field
techniques e.g.
quadrats within a
scientific investigation
 computer technology or
other tools to model
population dynamics
e.g. to demonstrate
exponential growth or
predator/prey
relationships
273–274
1.4: Plants in profile
1.5: The weed census
Evaluating and
communicating as a
biologist
 written or oral report on
the investigation,
highlighting essential
components of the
investigation
 critical reflection on
investigations
