Developmental Biology

3 credits · Undergraduate

Lectures describe development as a sequence of processes and events, in which 'simple' structures such as fertilized eggs are progressively transformed into complex organisms. These events are governed by developmental 'rules' which have been determined through experimental study of animal and plant model organisms. Laboratories use live material whenever possible.
