BIOL 1112 - Introductory Biology II

4 Credit(s)

This course explores basic Mendelian genetics and its application to human genetics, the role of genetics in evolution and the mechanisms involved in natural selection. Evolution provides the conceptual basis for a study of the phylogenetic development of the biologic kingdoms in increasing order of complexity culminating with an in-depth discussion of animal form and function (emphasis on humans). Interactions between living organisms and the nonliving environment among living organisms provide a basis for discussing the impact of global changes on ecosystems. Format: Lecture and laboratory.
