BIO 340 - Developmental Biology

Institution:

McKendree University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on the fundamental events of embryonic development, with an emphasis on genetic and molecular approaches used in modern experimental embryology. As modern developmental biology employs information and techniques from many different fields of biology, this course provides the challenge of learning and integrating diverse topics in biology, including cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and evolution. We explore the common features of development that are shared by different kinds of organisms and emphasize how diverse organisms use the same signaling and regulatory molecules during embryogenesis. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week. This course satisfies either the cell/molecular or organismal elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111, 211 and CHE 105, 106, or consent of instructor. Alternate years, spring '10.
