Development Biology
Overview
Description
This course includes a descriptive and experimental analysis of the developmental processes involved in gametogenesis, fertilization, cleavage, and gastrulation of representative vertebrate and invertebrate embryos and the inductive, genetic, and morphogenetic factors controlling these processes. The laboratory exercises involve a practical study of embryonic development using prepared slides and live chick, frog, and sea urchin embryos. Written laboratory reports and an oral presentation based on a library research project will be required. For students with two other upper-level (3000 or above)courses in natural sciences. This course may serve as the capstone for the Tier III minor in natural sciences.
