Biotechnology Performance Task

Problem-based task that can be used to drive the teaching and learning in this unit

varies

How can we use biotechnology to identify evolutionary relationships between organisms and to help conserve biodiversity? In this task, students use evidence from a set of laboratory tests to identify a close relative of an endangered plant, Botana curus, and explore alternative ways in which biotechnology can be used to conserve this species.
