A lecture and laboratory course covering fundamental concepts and mechanisms of animal development. Students explore the underlying cellular and molecular basis for embryonic development and the role of various determinants, factors and other biomolecules in cell movement, migration, differentiation and orientation. Developmental model systems (frog, chick, zebra fish, mouse, C. elegans, Drosophila) are used to explain both the commonality as well as the diversity of development. Labs combine classical embryology, observation of live animals and basic molecular techniques in development. Prerequisite: grade of C or better in BIOL 244.
