Catalog Description:
Continuation of Introductory Biology I.
The biology sequence (Biology 1111-1112) covers basic and biological chemistry, cellular organization and function, cell division, bioenergetics, ecology and organ/system physiology as well as Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, biotechnology, and evolutionary principles.
Biology 1112 includes the study of molecular genetics, Mendelian genetics, and organ/system physiology.
Biology 1111-1112 is a sequence is designed for non-science majors. The biology sequence of Biology 1107 and 1108 is the sequence required for science majors and most biomedical science majors. If you have questions about the appropriate sequence for your major, please ask your instructor.
