Picture
The study of biology joined the ranks of the other true sciences with the invention of the microscope in the late 1600's.  The discovery that every living thing is made of the same basic building blocks - the cell - unified the study of all living things.  It goes deeper though...not only are we built of the same basic blocks, all living things are coded and processed in a universal language.  DNA and RNA are the chemical sets of instructions for life as we know it.  In this unit we will learn to read this code and delve into the one unifying language that links every living organism on this plant.
