The way we grow and develop in the womb is controlled by our DNA. Small sections of DNA, called genes, carry the code telling the body how to build itself. Usually this works fine, but sometimes those genes carry mistakes in their code. These mistakes, known as mutations, may have no effect, they may be beneficial, or they may be harmful. If the mutation is beneficial, the mutated individual will have a better chance of surviving and reproducing, with all the offspring benefitting from the mutation too. Alternatively, a harmful mutation means that that individual may not be able to survive and reproduce. As mutations in DNA are a random and ongoing process, non-beneficial and harmful genes are eventually “weeded out” of a population in a process called Natural Selection. Species evolve through a slow process of natural selection so that only the beneficial mutations are incorporated into the population, whilst the harmful ones are removed.

In this video, we will look at the state symbols (s), (l), (g), and (aq) and what they represent in a chemical equation. For equations to be complete, we must also include the state symbol for each reactant and product. There are four possible states, each with their own unique state symbol. So
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that is fundamental to life. In this video we are going to have a look at the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. There are 3 main factors: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and also temperature. These factors are called limiting fact
