UNIT 2: USE OF BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Describe how glasshouses and polythene tunnels can be used to increase the yield of certain crops
Understand the effects on crop yield of increased carbon dioxide and increased temperature in glasshouses
Understand how the use of fertiliser can increase crop yield
Understand the reasons for pest control and the advantages and disadvantages of using pesticides and biological control with crop plants

Understand the use of an industrial fermenter and explain the need to provide suitable conditions in the fermenter, including aseptic precautions, nutrients, op
Understand the methods used to farm large numbers of fish to provide a source of protein, including maintaining water quality, controlling intraspecific and int
Understand how selective breeding can develop plants with desired characteristics
Understand how selective breeding can develop animals with desired characteristics
Understand how restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA at specific sites and ligase enzymes are used to join pieces of DNA together
Understand how plasmids and viruses can act as vectors, which take up pieces of DNA, and then insert this recombinant DNA into other cells
Understand how large amounts of human insulin can be manufactured from genetically modified bacteria that are grown in a fermenter
Understand how genetically modified plants can be used to improve food production
Understand that the term transgenic means the transfer of genetic material from one species to a different species
Describe the process of micropropagation (tissue culture) in which explants are grown in vitro
Understand how micropropagation can be used to produce commercial quantities of genetically identical plants with desirable characteristics
Describe the stages in the production of cloned mammals involving the introduction of a diploid nucleus from a mature cell into an enucleated egg cell, illustra
Understand how cloned transgenic animals can be used to produce human proteins
