    Embryology has always been one of the key issues in evolution. This course brings together recent advances in cell and molecular biology with embryology. This approach allows students to explore recent advances, to understand current experiences and to design hypotheses and propose future research. Dual listed with ZOO 5020. Prerequisite: BIOL 4000. (Normally offered fall semester)
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course is designed to provide intensive instruction in written, oral, and digital communication for zoology and physiology, biology, and botany majors. The course teaches students to communicate and execute research using practices common in the biological sciences. Prerequestite: COM1, COM2, and concurrent or prior upper division BOT, ZOO, or LIFE course. Preference given to seniors.
