Description:

An examination of major events occurring in embryological development, with emphasis on recent experimental findings concerning the initiation and regulation of development at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. Examples are taken from a wide range of organisms. Relationships between development and evolution are explored. Special topics from human embryology are presented. In the first portion of the laboratory sequence, comparative developmental studies are conducted. In the second portion of the laboratory sequence, students design and conduct independent experiments elucidating processes and mechanisms of development using plant or invertebrate models.
