Welcome to the BIO 121
Course Design Toolkit
Course Description
This course is designed for science majors. An examination of three areas of contemporary biological science including selected topics in chemistry necessary as background for cell biology, the structure and function of cells with emphasis on reproduction, membrane functions, and cell energetics, and the molecular mechanisms of genetic control and patterns of inheritance. Three class hours and two laboratory hours a week.
