  • BI 342: Developmental Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Eastern Connecticut State University

    This course explores how the transition from a single-celled, fertilized egg to a multicellular animal is accomplished, emphasizing the dynamic interactions that occur at the molecular level to tightly control developmental processes.Topics include mechanisms of cell fate and differentiation, the molecular basis of differential gene expression, analysis of the molecular cues regulating body axis formation, environmental regulation of animal development, and developmental mechanisms of evolutionary change.The laboratory for this course consists of student-designed group research projects using key animal model systems.Three lectures, one lab.(Prerequisites: BI 170, 171, and 172) Four credits.
