BIOL1041 — Principles of Biology I
BIOL 1041 - Principles of Biology I BIOL 1041 - Principles of Biology I Hours/Week: Lecture 4 Lab 3 Course Description: This is a lab science course that provides a general introduction to biological principles. Topics include basic chemistry, biological molecules, cell structure, metabolism, cell reproduction, molecular biology, genetics, and evolution. Laboratory exercises provide students the opportunity to better understand basic biological principles through scientific practice in hypothesis-development, experimental design, data collection and analysis. The course also introduces students to commonly-used biological instruments and equipment. This laboratory science course is primarily intended for biology or biology-related majors, health-related pre-professionals, and other related liberal arts majors.
