BIOL 190 - Animal Diversity

This course is first and foremost an introduction to scientific inquiry through selected concepts in animal biology. This course includes examples from the animal kingdom from an evolutionary perspective. We will address topics such as cell and molecular biology, morphology, taxonomy, growth, function, animal genetics and heredity, evolution and ecology, and reproduction using non-human animals as model organisms. Biological issues with personal and social implications are integrated throughout the course. There are no prerequisites for the course, but a prior high school biology course is assumed.
