Biology 302 - DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY

How does a single cell give rise to the complexity and diversity of cells and forms that make us the way we are? Developmental biology answers this question by spanning disciplines from cell biology and genetics to ecology and evolution. The remarkable phenomena that occur during embryonic development is presented in concert with the experiments underlying our current knowledge. We will have web conferences with the prominent developmental biologists whose research we are covering. Prerequisites: BIO 150, BIO 152 and BIO 202 or BIO 230; BIO 154 is suggested.
