Lesson: The Human Genome Biology • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the components of the human genome and outline why scientists want to study the human genome.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

recall that the human genome is all of the DNA found within a human,
understand that genes control all genetic and hereditary factors,
state that the aims of scientists who researched the human genome were to identify all the genes within the human genome (including those that cause disease) and to study the evolution of living organisms.
