  • BIOL 212: Developmental Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Lafayette College

    A study of the process of development at the cellular molecular level as a description of the stages through which an organism attains increasing complexity. In addition to lecture, students become actively involved through discussion of primary literature and laboratory. The laboratory features vertebrate and invertebrate examples of the developmental processes discussed in class as well as a student-designed research project with an oral presentation.
