Description
Provides a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans, including chemistry of life, cells, structure, function, and reproduction.
Laboratory activities will reinforce a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans, including chemistry of life, cells, structure, function, and reproduction.
Upon successful completion, students will be able to: distinguish between prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant and animal cells, and identify major cell structures; identify stages of the cell cycle, mitosis (plant and animal), and meiosis; interpret results from cell physiology experiments involving movement across membranes, enzymes, photosynthesis, and cellular respiration; apply genetic principles to predict the outcome of genetic crosses and statistically analyze results; describe karyotyping, pedigrees, and biotechnology and provide an example of the uses of each; identify parts of a DNA molecule, and describe replication, transcription, and translation; analyze ev
