The taxonomy of the protozoa and metazoa as well as the morphology and physiology of the major homeostatic organ systems are studied from a comparative and evolutionary point of view. The laboratory consists of a study of selected organisms which best demonstrate the theory and principles of homeostasis. Prerequisites: BIOL 101, BIOL 102. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Describe the morphological design of the typical animal cell (2) Identify the various types of animal tissues (3) Describe the "life" of an animal cell as it relates to the cell cycle (4) Classify animals based upon morphological and physiological relationships (5) Compare selected animal reproductive cycles (6) Recognize the origin, evolution and structural development of the animal body organ systems (7) Describe selected parasite-host relationships

The study of the Theory of Biological Evolution. An historical approach leading to Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection; understanding Darwin's Theory and its implications for science and society; a study of the evidences for demonstrating the validity of biological evolution; and some of the new frontiers of scientific research which validates the classical evolutionary argument. Prerequisites: BIOL 102 or NSET 111. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Students will grasp the contributions of key individuals to the development of the field, biological evolution. Charles Darwin with be the primary focus in this objective. Student comprehension of the material will be tested by exams (2) Investigate scientific literature to debate theories on mechanisms that drive biological evolution. (3) Discuss modern advancements of biological evolution and appreciate the breadth of evolution in biology.
