explain that science and technology are developed to meet societal needs and expand human capability (SEC1);  e.g. • discuss the role of mitosis and biotechnology in regenerating whole, damaged or missing parts of organisms (stem cells, skin tissue)     •evaluate how knowledge of cell division or development of nanotechnology might be applied to the regulation of cancerous growth in plants or animals      •discuss and assess the impact of research in plant and animal reproduction on our understanding of mitosis and meiosis in humans (cloning, chromosome shortening)      •discuss the types and sources of teratogenic compounds found in the environment and the technological means by which they can be removed or controlled to ensure quality of life for future generations.
