Evolution, embryology, and ecology of the kingdom is included. The emphasis is on
the phylogenetic relationships among animals and the ecological relationships within
the kingdom. Laboratory class. Previously BIOSC 202. Prerequisites: BIOL& 211. Student
option grading.
- Biology 213/Majors Plant Biology: Survey of major taxonomic groups Fungi, Protista and Plantae. Study of morphology,
physiology and reproductive patterns and evolutionary relationships. Origins of life,
development of ecosystems, succession and features of the major terrestrial biomes.
Laboratory class. Previously BIOSC 203. Prerequisite: Minimum of 2.0 in BIOL& 211,
or permission. Student option grading.
