answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p>The requirement that students study the genome and gene expression in the revised GCSE combined science and GCSE biology criteria covers all organisms, and is not specific to the human genome. It is therefore given at a level of generality that applies to all living things. The only specific reference in this section of the criteria to the human genome is in the context of the statement that requires students to be able to discuss the potential importance for medicine of our increasing understanding of the human genome.</p><p> </p><p>In developing their specifications which meet these criteria, Awarding Organisations may choose to include microorganisms, humans or any other organism when they cover the genome and gene expression.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
