  • Biology 209: embryology

    4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Spring. Credits: 4. A study of the morphological changes that occur in animals from fertilization of an egg to birth. This anatomically-based course will focus on the development of the major organ systems and body plan of vertebrates, including comparisons of developmental patterns among vertebrates and understanding what happens when the patterns are disrupted to produce birth defects. Class meetings will be predominantly lecture with some laboratory work. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2009-2010.) Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 and 140, 141.

  • Biology 212: environmental Issues in southern africa

    2.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Spring. Credits: 2. Degree Requirements: F11. An interdisciplinary examination of the environmental issues of a region of the world famous for its captivating scenery, immense richness and dire scarcity of natural resources, and cultural diversity of its people. Special attention will be devoted to the role of parks and community-based conservation projects in achieving a balance between people's needs and wildlife conservation. By itself, this course does not satisfy an upper level requirement for the Biology major; when combined with Biology 214 it satisfies a requirement for an upper level course with laboratory. Class meetings will be predominantly lecture with some laboratory work. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2009-2010.) Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 and 140, 141; or Biology 105: Environmental Science; or permission of instructor.
