CLEP Biology

CLEP Biology covers fundamental concepts in biology, including cellular processes, genetics, evolution, and ecology, designed to help students earn college credit.

Practical Applications

Forensics and Biotechnology

Biology in Crime Solving and Innovation

Biotechnology uses biology to develop new products and solve problems. In forensics, biological evidence like DNA helps solve crimes and identify individuals.

Examples

  • DNA Fingerprinting: Matches suspects to crime scenes.
  • Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Improve crops and medicine.
  • Gene Therapy: Treats diseases by changing genetic information.

Biotechnology is rapidly changing medicine, agriculture, and even criminal justice!

Examples

  • Police solve cases by matching DNA from a crime scene to a suspect.

  • Scientists create insulin for diabetes patients using genetically engineered bacteria.
