BIO 3005 DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY
Examination of principles underlying growth and development of organisms, from fertilization to embryonic organization and tissue differentiation. Descriptive morphology of vertebrate and invertebrate developmental sequences will be compared with special emphasis on genetic control and coordination of development, timing of gene expression, and biochemical signals. Laboratory study will emphasize descriptive morphology of vertebrate embryology, but will include classical demonstrations of invertebrate development and an experimental component.
