Biology 30: how living things work
Five units covering all of Alberta Biology 30: genetics, the nervous and endocrine systems, population dynamics, reproduction, and development. Each has its own concepts page, practice questions and quizzes — or mix them all together for exam prep.
Pick a unit
Unit 1
Cell division, genetics and molecular biology
How cells copy themselves, how traits get passed on, and how DNA actually gets read.
Unit 2
Nervous and endocrine systems
How signals travel along neurons, what the parts of the nervous system do, and how hormones keep the body in balance.
Unit 3
Population and community dynamics
Hardy–Weinberg, how populations grow and level off, and how species live alongside each other.
Unit 4
Reproductive systems and hormones
The male and female reproductive systems, the hormones of the menstrual cycle, and how reproductive technologies work.

About this course
Alberta's Biology 30 covers four units: nervous and endocrine systems; reproduction and development; cell division, genetics and molecular biology; and population and community dynamics. Reproduction and development is a big unit, so it is split here into two: reproductive systems and hormones, and development from fertilization to birth. Together, the five units cover the whole course.
