    Description
    This course is an introduction to cellular and molecular aspects of biology emphasizing principles of scientific process, evolution by natural selection, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure and function, classic and modern genetics, and concepts that integrate cellular with organismal activities. Experimental design concepts and application are emphasized in the laboratory. This is the first semester of three introductory biology courses for the pre-professional, biology major, environmental science or others interested in an in-depth study of biology.
