Unit A – Biological Diversity
A 1. Investigate and interpret diversity among species and within
species, and describe how diversity contributes to species survival
A 1-1 observe variation in living things, and describe examples of
variation among species and within species (e.g., observe
and describe characteristics that distinguish two closely
related species)
A 1-2 identify examples of niches, and describe the role of
variation in enabling closely related living things to
survive in the same ecosystem (e.g., investigate different
bird species found in a local park ecosystem, and infer
how each is adapted to life within that ecosystem)
A 1-3 investigate and interpret dependencies among species that
link the survival of one species to the survival of others
(e.g., by providing habitat, food, means of fertilization,
or a source of oxygen)
A 1-4 identify the role of variation in species survival under
changing environmental conditions (e.g., resistance to
disease, ability to survive in severe environments)
A 2. Investigate the nature of reproductive processes and their role
in transmitting species character istics
A 2-1 distinguish between sexual and asexual reproduction, and
identify and interpret examples of asexual and sexual
reproduction in different species, by:
o
describing representative types of asexual reproduction
(e.g., fission in the amoeba, budding in hydra,
production of zoospores in some fungi)
o
describing representative types of sexual reproduction
(e.g., cross-fertilization in seed plants, sexual

reproduction in mammals)
o
describing examples of organisms that show both
sexual and asexual reproduction (e.g., yeasts that
reproduce both by budding and sexual reproduction;
plants that reproduce through suckering, runners or
bulbs, as well as by seed production)
o
describing the formation of zygote and embryo in plant
and animal reproduction
A 2-2 describe examples of variation of characteristics within a
species, and identify examples of both discrete and
continuous variation (e.g., hand clasping preference is an
example of a discrete variation, the length of human
hands varies on a continuum)
A 2-3 investigate the transmission of characteristics from
parents to offspring, and identify examples of
characteristics in offspring that are:
o
the same as the character istics of both parents
o
the same as the characteristics of one parent
o
intermediate between parent characteristics
o
different from both parents
A 2-4 distinguish those characteristics that are heritable from
those that are not heritable, and identify characteristics
for which heredity and environment may both play a role
(e.g., recognize that eye colour is heritable but that
scars are not; recognize that a person’s height and
weight may be largely determined by heredity but that
diet may also play a role)
A 3. Describe, in general terms, the role of genetic materials in the
continuity and variation of species characteristics; and investigate
and interpret related technologies
A 3-1
describe, in general terms, the relationship of
chromosomes, genes and DNA; and interpret their role as
repositories of genetic information
A 3-2 distinguish between cell division that leads to identical
daughter cells, as in binary fission and mitosis, and cell
division that leads to formation of sex cells, as in meiosis;
and describe, in general terms, the synthesis of genetic
materials that takes place during fertilization [Note: At
this level, students should understand that the formation
of sex cells involves the halving of the parent cell’s
genetic materials and that this process leads to zygote
formation. Opportunity for further study of the specific
mechanis ms of cell division—mitosis and meiosis—will be
provided in senior high school courses.]

extinction and extirpation of native species, and
investigate the role of environmental factors in causing
these changes (e.g., investigate the effect of changing
river characteristics on the variety of species living in the
river; investigate the effect of changing land use on the
survival of wolf or grizzly bear populations)
A 4-3 evaluate the success and limitations of various local and
global strategies for minimizing loss of species diversity
(e.g., breeding of endangered populations in zoos,
development of seed banks, designating protected areas,
development of international treaties regulating trade of
protected species and animal parts)

environmental, agricultural or forest management; and
identify potential impacts and issues (e.g., investigate
issues related to the development of patented crop
varieties and varieties that require extensive chemical
treatments; identify issues related to selective breeding
in game farming and in the rearing of fish stocks)
