Subject:

Description:

Animal development is a fascinating process that begins with a single cell and ends with a complex multicellular organism. This course examines the genetic and cellular mechanisms that guide development in vertebrate animals. Upon successful completion of this course, students will understand the importance of egg preparation and the stages of development, including fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation, organogenesis, and gametogenesis. Students will also be able to integrate their knowledge of genetics and cell biology to understand the complex interplay of signals that direct the organization of the developing vertebrate. Prerequisite: BIO 120, 121, 260. Offered alternate spring terms.
