BI212 Principles of Biology II

Students continue to learn fundamental science processes and major concepts of contemporary biology. Like other courses in the sequence, the course serves largely as a platform for students majoring in life science, natural resources studies or pre-professional programs such as pre-medicine, pre-veterinary, pre-physical therapy, etc. It also meets science general education requirements at most upper level colleges and universities. Students develop skills basic to science investigation, abilities using standard lab equipment, concepts essential for an understanding of modern biology, and an awareness of roles and relationships between science and the rest of society. Course content focuses on genetics, evolution, and chordate phylogeny and diversity. Prerequisite: BI 211 and 211L or instructor approval. Co-requisite: BI 212 with BI 212L.
