An overview of cells to tissues to organisms. Cellular components, the role of the nucleus, cell reproduction, and meiosis will be examined as part of our study of gamete production, fertilization, embryology, and development in an invertebrate (sea urchins), a vertebrate (chick), a fern, and a flowering plant. The basic molecular biology of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis will be presented and examined in the context of building a fly embryo and a flower.
Prereq: Biological Sciences 145 or Biological Sciences 146 or Biological Sciences 160, or Neuroscience and Behavior 100.; Coreq: BIOL-200L.
