Students will learn how scientific information is assimilated and integrated into testable hypotheses, and how the results of these investigations lead to theories. They will also learn a number of biological principles and laboratory techniques in the areas of reproduction, evolution and ecology. More specifically, after completing BIOL 102 students will:
-
Demonstrate an understanding of the various modes and mechanism of reproduction
-
Demonstrate a basic understanding of the emergent area of biotechnology
-
Demonstrate an understanding of phenomena associated with adaptation and evolution
-
Demonstrate an understanding of ecological perspectives in biology
