World Youth and Teenage Biology Knowledge Contest -Season 1

Entry Requirements：

1. Basic Biology Knowledge

This module focuses on core concepts, covering the basic frameworks of disciplinary branches such as Cell Biology, Genetics, and Ecology (e.g., cell structure and function, genetic material transmission, ecosystem composition), classic literature and methods (e.g., the academic value of "On the Origin of Species", controlled experiment methods, principles of biological data analysis), and unit characteristics (e.g., cell totipotency, gene expression regulation, niche principle). It systematically assesses the definition and observation of biological quantities, the classification and characterization of biological phenomena, the connection between laws and technologies (e.g., genetic laws and breeding technologies), and the application of terminology, helping participants understand the laws of biological phenomena and disciplinary diversity.

2. Biological Phenomena and Theoretical Principles

This module explores the causes, evolutionary mechanisms, and far-reaching impacts of biological phenomena, such as the transmission laws of genetic material during cell division, the operational mechanism of natural selection in biological evolution, the inherent logic of material cycling and energy flow in ecosystems, and the regulatory mechanism of human internal environment homeostasis. It analyzes the scope of application and adaptation principles of biological laws (e.g., the applicable scenarios of classical genetics and molecular genetics, the connection between individual physiology and population ecology), as well as core biological theories (e.g., the theoretical system of Cell Theory, the logical framework of Darwin's Evolution Theory, the core connotation of the Central Dogma). It conducts in-depth research on the interconnections among fields such as cell biology, genetics, ecology, and physiology in biology (e.g., gene mutations and abnormal cell functions, ecological imbalance and species extinction), the driving factors of biological environmental changes (e.g., technological innovation improving the precision of microscopic observation, extreme environments promoting biological adaptability), and the regular characteristics of biological phenomena (e.g., biological periodicity, population quantity change curves). It also explores the role of human activities in the application of biological laws (e.g., the impact of scientists' experimental design on theory verification, the practical transformation of breeding principles by agricultural technicians).

3. Biological Practice and Application

This module strengthens biological practical skills, including the use of common biological experimental tools (e.g., operational specifications for instruments such as microscopes, centrifuges, and incubators; methods for collecting and processing biological samples; drawing and analyzing biological charts) and the handling of basic biological tasks (e.g., making simple biological specimens; statistical analysis and error analysis of experimental data; observation and recording reports of biological phenomena). Through case analysis simulating real biological scenarios, it guides participants to interpret biological data and materials (e.g., experimental data tables, biological specimen observation records, ecological survey reports), evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of biological conditions in specific scenarios (e.g., the impact of temperature and humidity in the culture environment on microbial growth, the matching degree between soil fertility and crop yield in planting industry), and formulate reasonable solutions for specific biological situations (e.g., simulating the design of crop disease-resistant breeding programs, simulating the planning of urban green space ecosystem construction). It initially applies biological research methods to conduct simple biological analysis, such as comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different experimental schemes, estimating the scope of impact of biological phenomena, and contrasting similar biological phenomena under different conditions (e.g., differences in plant phototropism in different environments, analysis of the universality of genetic codes among different species).

4、Question Types and Difficulty Levels

The contest features diverse question types, including multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, short-answer questions, experimental analysis questions, and biological scheme design questions (e.g., experimental design for simulated biological scenarios, ecological protection scheme planning). The difficulty level is adjusted according to the age and knowledge reserve of participants: the Children's Group focuses on the memory and simple application of basic biological knowledge, while the Youth Group emphasizes the in-depth understanding of biological theories and the ability to solve complex biological problems.​
