BOT 213 - Principles of Botany

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in BI 211 and BI 212 or BI 201 and BOT 202 or Z 202 or instructor consent This course is one way to complete the Life Science Majors sequence. There is no Math, Chemistry or Writing requirement currently in place; however, college level writing and math abilities will be an advantage to success in this course. Concepts of phylogeny, evolution and ecology will be explored using flowering plant (angiosperm) examples. We study major evolutionary trends in flowering plants and explore ecological mechanisms and selective pressures that underlay those trends. At least half the instruction takes place in the field examining plant associations in a variety of local ecosystems. We identify plants using field characteristics to become proficient in the use of botanical keys. These skills and concepts inform our phylogenetic studies. NOTE: BOT 213 was formerly named BOT 203 General Botany. A student who has taken this class under the previous name may not take it again under this new name and receive duplicate credit.
