This Specialization introduces students to the core principles of biology, from the chemistry of life and cell structure to genetics, evolution, ecology, and biotechnology. Students will learn to apply the scientific method, analyze biological data, interpret evidence, and understand how living systems interact across molecular, organismal, and environmental levels. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to connect biology with real-world issues such as genetic engineering, conservation, human biology, and environmental impact.
