BI 350 Developmental Biology
Developmental biology is a field concerned with the progressive changes that result in the formation of a multicellular organism. The nature of the changes and when, where, and how they occur are all included within Developmental biology's scope. This course focuses on the changes that occur during the embryonic period, broadly defined as the period extending from fertilization to birth or hatching in animals. The course includes both a survey of the anatomical changes that occur during this period and an examination of the molecular and cellular mechanisms thought to be responsible for bringing these changes about. Students in this course will also be exposed to the primary research within the field of Developmental Biology.
