That is followed by units on Human Immunity and Disease, Cell Reproduction and Genetics and Heredity. Shorter units on Electricity, Meteorology are covered in the spring semester, which culminates with an investigation into the dangers and social issues relating to tobacco, alcohol and other substances.
