The second part of a two-semester lecture sequence, complemented with hands-on laboratory experience, that stresses the major biological principles and concepts that serve as the foundation for study in the biological and health-related fields. The second semester stresses animal and plant organization, development, and physiology. The first semester includes topics such as the chemistry of biological systems, cell and historical organization, membrane transport, metabolism and evolution of organisms; however, the major focus is on the principles of Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, and population genetics. Laboratory sessions provide opportunities for students to gain technical experience and to improve laboratory-related writing skills.
