Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Biology

Description:

Fulfills a program elective for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology degree. Covers major development patterns of animal embryos, stressing recent advances in the roles played by organizational genes and interactions among chemical gradients that cause tissue differentiation, and emphasizing constraints posed by developmental necessities on evolutionary change. Successful completers will be able to describe the evolution of different body plans, with similarities and differences among major animal taxa, and the crucial importance of early stages of development in the proper functioning of mature organisms. Recommended prerequisite course, BIOL 3550. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe the mechanisms of development at the molecular and cellular level. 2. Describe the major processes involved in the formation of organisms. 3. Successfully communicate scientific information as it pertains to developmental biology. 4. Critically evaluate and discuss scientific material. Prerequisites: BIOL 3010 and BIOL 3030 (Grade C or higher). SU
