What is meant by the terms environment, biotic, abiotic and biosphere? What is an ecosystem? What is meant by the terms population, community and habitat? What is a niche? Investigating populations (pages 6-9) candidates should carry out experimental and investigative activities, including appropriate risk management consider ethical issues arising when carrying out fieldwork, particularly those relating to the organisms involved and their environment analyse and interpret data relating to the distribution of organisms, recognizing correlations and causal relationships appreciate the tentative nature of conclusions that may be drawn from such data.

5 Variation in population size (pages 10-12) Population size may vary as a result of the effect of abiotic factors interactions between organisms: interspecific and intraspecific competition and predation.

DNA sequencing and the PCR are used to produce DNA probes that can be used to screen patients for clinically important genes. The use of this information in genetic counselling, e.g. for parents who are both carriers of defective genes and, in the case of oncogenes, in deciding the best course of treatment for cancers. 18
