BIOL 369 - Developmental Biology

This course aims to integrate organismal, cellular, genetic and molecular approaches to the study of animal development. We will analyze a diversity of mechanisms, ranging from ones that set up pattern formation in the unfertilized egg to those governing morphogenesis of organ systems. Evolution of developmental mechanisms will also be discussed. The lab component will incorporate both descriptive and experimental embryological techniques. Prerequisites: BIOL 255  (Cell Biology and Genetics Lab), BIOL 260  (Genetics) and BIOL 265  (Cell Biology). BIOL 270  (Biodiversity and Evolution) is highly recommended. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period per week. Spring semester. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 255, 260 and 265. (4 Credits)
