BIOL 492 - Developmental Embryology

Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lab Hour(s): 3
Credit Hour(s): 4

This course is designed to impart a broad understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying animal development. The course involves the comparative study of embryonic development including gametogenesis, fertilization, early embryology, and differentiation of organs, tissues, and cells in a number of model systems. Students will learn by exploring animal models that enhance our understanding of embryonic development and the genetic variations that lead to evolution.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 101, BIOL 103L, BIOL 102, BIOL 104L, and BIOL 202 , BIOL 204L.
