BIO 354 - DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Biology

Description:

This course is designed to correlate the major stages of development from the DNA blueprint to an organism's final structure with a focus not only on classical embryology but also on understanding how molecular mechanisms relate to development of organisms. Students will have the opportunity to discuss current issues in developmental biology including stem cell research and cell cloning. The laboratory will consist of a morphological and molecular study of growth and differentiation of the sea urchin, Drosophila, frog, chick, and human development. In a culminating activity, students will propose and carry out a short project that focuses on the effects of teratogens on development.
