Introduction to the underlying principles and mechanisms governing development in multicellular animals and plants. Differentiation, growth, morphogenesis, and patterning will be examined at the organismal, cellular, and molecular levels to provide a balanced view of developmental phenomena in key model organisms. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2104 and one of BIOL 2001 or BIOL 2002, or permission of the Department.Lectures three hours a week.
